    Ah well if you get bored with the coticule send it my way.
    As far as you're cuticle goes , you can keep your hang nails

    @ eleblu05 - You have a post of your Charnley Forest here http://straightrazorpalace.com/hones...tml#post830172 and my stone looks almost exactly like that one in sections and other sections not so.

    Is it likely to be the Charnley Forest or the Llyn Idwal? If you have photos of both it would be awesome!

    Also, what ever one it is finally decided on, how do they hone (finisher of pre finisher etc) and is it a whetstone or oil stone?

    Here are some of my stones which have a speckle pattern for comparison, none of them are CFs.

    I'm sure yours can be used with water or oil.

    @ Piet - Do you know what that first stone is in your photo?

    I wasnt going to ask what this stone was but now that i have lapped it, and it was one hell of a hard stone to lapp and i spent ages degreasing it i though i would ask anyway. I'm fairly sure is synthetic but it looks like it has saw lines though one side of it so i will double check. (i wasn't planning on using this stone on my razors, it was only worth a $1 so i picked it up)

    Actually that was over a year ago and since further testing, I am not certain. It is not a particularly slow hone, and Arks are meant to be quite slow. I have only seen pictures of Arks, some which it resembles, some which it does not. The same is true for some Tams. Some it looks like, some it does not. I think it could be a Tam but I'm not 100%.

    I'm 99% sure the Tam looking on is a Tam, as it is stamped on the box.

    I'm also fairly sure about the Jnat and the Thuringian. The only one im still not 100% sure about is the Llyn Idwal \ Charnley Forest looking one, the same one that you have Scipio.

    How dose that hone?

    100% undoubtedly that labelled Tam is a Tam. I was referring to the one in the link you mentioned.

    That to me doesn't look like a Charnley.

    Edit: That coticule is not too small to use. I would keep it a travel hone.
