Perhaps I'm not sure what would be considered easy or difficult slurry. I'm still quite new to this. Here is a picture.

My Thuringian is a very deep dark Charcoal in color with dimensions of 6 1/2 x 1 1/2 inches.

I am totally pleased with its performance. Best shaves of my life.

TO properly use a Thuringian stone or an Escher stone you need to take the edge to maxium sharpness, then use this stone with a slurry and test how many strokes you need. Make thirty strokes, test shave, increase if needed, etc.
