Just bought a vintage Echer...Yeah..I am the one

Ques. 1

Bought this last night on ebay and was wondering what to slurry it with...any suggestions?

ques 2

I have one stone I have used a DMT fine stone to slurry with...other than the wear is there anything wrong with this?

Edit:
When am I going to learn to do a search before asking questions...just got all the skinny on all I need from a "slurry stone" search...THanks guys

Royalshave.com they have very nice and reasonably priced slurry stones. Also fast delievery.

Well, I don't remember any Escher auction ending last night. Is it possible my eagle eyes have failed me? Let's get a link and some pics, so I can be supremely jealous of you. lol. And yes, I will be supremely jealous of you. Congratulations on your new stone!

Pics or it didn't happen :p

Johnus, I assume you're referring to their Coticule slurry stones. I wouldn't use them on a Thuringian/Escher. You would get a Thuri/Coti mix and the abrasive Coti particles would dominate because of their bigger size. A DMT card or a Guangxi slurry stone would work. There are alternatives but probably either more expensive or harder to find.

So you're the one that bought the Dark Blue Droescher. Congratulations! It looks like a very nice stone. I just bought a Dark Blue Escher and I am extremely happy with it. Enjoy your stone!

Ok,yep. I know that one. It ended while I was at school. I spoke to the seller a couple times. He's a member here, there, or somewhere on the shaving forums. Let us know what you think of that size. It was a great looker in the pics. I think it'll impress you! Congrats!

Your just going to have to make up your mind...Wat do you want...an education or a 50 million year old rock.
Just a matter of priorities.:shrug:

Timber Tools has Escher/Thuringian slurry stones, I've used them with very good results. A Chinese 12k slurry will work too....
