Thread: The BLACK Escher

Looks great! How does it compare to the Y/G?

Case solved. I have been research a stone I just got one in a barbers case that I just purchased. I'll have to post a pic. Definitely the same as yours, Mine is 5 x 2.5 and came with the slurry stone exactly the same as the main stone, which had me scratching my head for days. Similar slurry to escher.

Thought it might have been a Black Arkansas, or even a French La Luna, but I had never seen either of these with a slurry stone. Once I honed a razor on it, I realized this is a pretty special stone, leaves a polish on the bevel similar to an Escher, but cuts much faster.

My new finishing stone!

Awesome, great post! thanks! Ill post mine tomorrow.

Stuart it's very close to the YG. The black stone is a little harder. I consider the Barbers Delight a very fine YG type. Once you take the edge this far, it becomes very delicate and easy to over do it. Hope that makes sense.
