    I have to say "Dressante", followed by La Nouvelle. (Last Pic) I have two Dressante's, One's a Kosher grade, One's Select. Both are great stones.

    For bevel setting, I have a beutiful pink/les lat vintage combo I bought off Jimmy. It's the pinkist Coti I've seen....
    It's right below next to an unknown 8x3 Select from Howard.

    Ah, the "prop" Yes, it is an Escher and my treasure, albeit one that do not yet have the skills to fully appreciate. Some day . . .

    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    Ha! Love it. And, let me guess, the canned goods are what you have to live on after buying all those hones

    Well I'm particularly partial to the Savory Salmon Feast but the Tender Liver and Chicken is quite tasty too ...... kidding aside, my cat eats better than I do, really.

    I forgot about these two and it seems you like your 4x2 's like I do.

    Here's the two I got and have one in the mail. Old rock on the left.

    And the old rock by itself.

    Nothing wrong with 4x2s but the three that may look like 4x2 in my 2 photos are actually 5x2 1/2. A size that I found to be the default of many barbers I knew in No. NJ back in the 1980s. I have a theory, and I could be wrong, that the 5 or 6x2 or 2 1/2 is ideal for honing straight razors because of the angle the honer is forced to use due to the length of the stone. Like I say, I may be wrong. I do like longer stones. The longest in those photos is 11&3/4 x 2&3/4 and the next longest is 10 x 2 1/2. They are great too but I like the 5" a lot.
