    Send it to me if you have trouble with such a small stone

    @ 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)

    Its on the courser side, i'm guessing 600 gritt maybe higher, im not sure.

    The first two are the same type of stone and seem to match yours, they show up at ebay regularly but never labeled.
