Greetings,
I just picked up this stone at my local Flea Market for $5.oo. The cover says it’s a S.R. Droescher, Inc water razor hone. The instructions under the stone say it’s a J.G. Escher Sohn hone. I’m assuming that this is an Escher hone but I don't really know anything about them. It says “Light Green” on the cover but has “Blue” scratched into the stone, so maybe it's not the right stone for the box. What exactly do I have?
Also, does anyone know what grit this hone would be equivalent too? I have been using Shapton glass stones (1000, 4000, 8000 and 16000 grits) on my razors, so I’m not really sure where, if anywhere, this Escher would fit into my progression. Any information you guys can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
