I'll tell you what irritates me .... the description of the Turkey stone. The greatest thing since sliced bread according to more than one writer from that era. A friend of mine in Missouri went on a mission buying Turkey stones both vintage and lately harvested. He had a mess of them and all he found out was they break easily and he never found one that surpassed the known naturals in the straight razor world. What were those folks, back then, finding coming out of Turkey ?
