My new Escher is here...
Thanks Jimmy,
I got to hone a razor with an escher today... I'm not sure if they're always that fragrant, or if it's just Jimmy's smoke, but it was a pleasure to test out today. Shave test will be later, but I'm expecting it to be very nice based on testing.
I'm so excited to have an escher now

Hope you enjoy testing it out Paul. Just don't fall in love with it. LOL.
Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

Congratulations on your new acquisition. German hones are my favourite finishers, not fragrant per se, but they do exhibit an aroma provided your nose is sensitive enough. What are you normally finishing on? And of course, pics or it doesn't exist

Nice! I'm sure any Escher from Jimmy is a good one. They are a lovely stone to own.

Love the escher right after a progression to 12K on the Nani's or to 16K on the Shapton GS's. I like 10x regular pressure x strokes on a wet stone, followed by 10 VERY slow x strokes on a damp stone. Gary, I got mine from Sham too.

So you managed to snag one from one of our stone hounds? Congratulations, at least you know you got a good one. Light pressure is best. Now you'll know what they mean when guy's say they hate to waste slurry down the drain... have fun

nice one, sham has plenty to spear, i should imagine the escher works with well after 12k naniwa,/10k naniwa.

Lucky man! I've got one vintage coticule and one probably modern Thuri that smell really sweet when wet.
