Mail box Finds - two German Water hones.

[sidmind]

I hope I am not being a post whore with all the hones I have been showing lately. I know I enjoy Hone porn, and hope you do to.

These two arrived in the mail today, I thought I got a steal on them at about 10$ each with combined shipping.

The first one I specifically picked up because it had a label. and that is my thing lately, I want my personal collection to be labeled stones.

On one side it says "German ????? razor Hone -- Celebrated" the other side "Use Water, Lather or Oil Price 75cents"

Edit: this is a natural two sides stone, there are two very thin homes glued together, one side is very fine, the other is about 5000-6000 grit. It's hard to believe they were able to get these natural Hones this thin.





This next one I could tell from the 'bay photos it was a German water hone, but wasn't really expecting much. I picked it up on a whim and because it was cheap. the size is 8 x 1 x 1

Let me tell you though. I am very excited about this hone. I performed my typical 'tooth test" and I will say with that test alone it is the finest hone I own. it feels like glass when rubbing it on my teeth. I compared it to every German water hone I have including a Y/G Escher and although it is close to the Escher, I think it actually is finer grit or at least the same. I am very amazed and can't wait to have time to try it out on a razor.
