My collection is growing; Llyn Melynllyn, Thuringian Hone, Escher hone and and Charnley Forest.
Then I have a vintage french leather traveling strop with a Thiers Issard Paste in case I get Lazy.
It all happened because I got bored on sunny day, I was on youtube, and I came across the video below, got my first TI razor then the rest is history!

Nice collection there of some really nice stones. Enjoy em.
Very nice collection of finishing stones!
My thoughts exactly!
Feelgeorge13, I would be interested to know if you use each one separately on different razors or do you use them as a progression?Quote:

Plus, Same question as turando72.
Well to answer your question, I depends on my mood, If I am in a rush I jump straight to my Thuringian then finishing on my Escher, because my razors are both shave ready so they need a touch up to keep the edge shape.
But If its a weekend, I will take my time and use my Llyn Melynllyn, X 10 stocks, Thuringian Hone x 6, Escher hone x6 and and Charnley Forest x 20-40. My Thuringian is really good, it puts the fear of God in my razors, then my Escher gives it that nice mirror look, then my CF so refines the edge.
I recently bought my Charney forest stone from "taylors1000",he sold me my Thuringian as well. He is a nice guy, easy to chat with, doesnt take life all too serious, always ready to help and always flexible on the price, he gave me 10g Each of CrO & Ferric Oxide Strop Dressing and gave me another small slate which I use as a slurry stone.Attachment 106146Attachment 106147Attachment 106148
Very pretty hones.
How did you get those slurry stones?
Well Mr Tony Holmes, gave them to me free when I bought my Thuringian and CF from him. Here are his details,He is a Nice guy, ask him.Quote:

He is in my opinion trusted source. I did not have dealings with himpersonaly as yet but feedback from my foreign colleagues is excellent.
Thanks for direct links. he slightly changed his website since I have seen it last time.
In my opinion trusted source. Thank you for direct link.
