"1- Put on the Gillot stone "a" a thin layer of dry soap. Pass the blade on the stone several times with a rotating movement. After repeating this operation several times, do it again on the other side of the blade.
2- After this operation, put some drops of water on the stone, repeat the movements with the same method, then do it again on the other side of the blade. Finish on a strop."

Some updates...here is a group shot of my actual collection. It shows both of the AD Stones (AD12/AD20) which were sold in those nice wooden boxes. Both stones, a natural and a synthethic SIC Stone are glued to a middle plate of wood.

Two of the stones in the upper left corner are Pierres Naturelle de Saurat, thes appear comparable to the fine razor hones sold from FGBC, they even show glittering particles. Sometimes the corners are lapped like the FGBC stones....

Complete Collection:

From left to right:
Pierre Naturelle de Saurat (120x60x20mm)
Pierre Naturelle de Saurat (140x70x18mm)
