My latest HAD!

[Double0757]

Well , the Zulu grey only served as an aperitif, and had to satisfy my hunger with some Escher! I realy thought I wasn't going to get them, because I bid so low (I thought). The first three come from England and the two dark ones were billed to my seller as small Escher at an antique show. The other one (lighter color) is a Turingian. I was assure by the seller that the two dark ones where at one time label as Escher (have no reason to doubt him). First the link to the e-bay action and then my pictures.

The only thing disappointing with this stones is, how narrow they are. I'm still getting use to the stroke, much harder than with the 3" stones

This other one is a rare (I think) Turingian label by Hohensoller, supposed to be very good finisher. From the one razor I did on it, it shows the most promise. Also is a bid wider, at almost 2".

I have only done one razor on each. The ones done on the narrow stones needed more refinement, and the one on the Hohensoller was better but was expecting better. New stones, new strokes, new get to know the stone. According to the wife, I'm supposed to only keep one, I want to keep two, will see! I'll be giving first deeps to the stones, to Brookie, since I outbid him on both stones! I think he was the smarter one by getting his Ozuku!

Enjoy, Double O
