Thread: Yellow lake oilstone

In the previous picture the stone has a perfect grey colour when I check it in Photoshop. Now it's lapped it looks more purple. I took the pics outside on a white surface. Colour should be good but contrast is a bit lacking.

Hoorai. Finaly I have seen one marked YT in purple colour. One feels much better when knows what is trying to catch. Thank you Piet.

My unlapped stones

The stone on the right is two tone like the pic?
Reminds me of a chameleon ability to change its color to the background when it feels threatened.

I think Frameback is just teasing us - by putting those two yellow lakes on the hugest slab of tam o'shanter...

Regards.

Hi
Its not two tones. The daylight from window covered half the stone.
They came in matching boxes. The big one looks like it has never been used and even the box us in great condition.

Got a Purple one today but without box, Will need to Lap it. Same size and marks as the smaller ones

Hehe great idea. Maybe i can use the window self stone as a finisher.
Its damn smooth and fine and superlapped. What kind of stone is it? I have a couple of meters of it in every room.

And also add to it that it was recognised and named on straight razor user forums.
