Soak them.use them. let them air dry,of the two above one is a slip used for sharpening gouges,the other have no clue.

Which one is a slip? Gouges on a razor? They both are pretty fine grit feeling.

The 'slip stone' is the wedge shaped stone. Machinists, gunsmiths, jewelers use them for getting the hone into irregularly shaped areas, like in the tool known as a gouge. No idea about that big rectangle but looks like someone got plenty of use out of it.

The one with the rounded edge,is not a razor hone,not even close to being one.
Is used for sharpening wood gouges.

No idea what the rectangle one is? Can it be lapped and flattened?

Everything can be lapped and flattened!
Go for it and let us see what you get.
Only time I won't flatten a hone is when its really old and got a value as it is, like a viking age hone I got.

The second one, looks like a moon rock.

....maybe you can take it too a stone cutter/marble shop & have them shape it some more, it will save you a lifetime of lapping, then take it hame & put a DMT or 3M wet/dry on it. Most places won't even charge for something that small, it will take them less than 5 minutes on a wet saw table (don't know the real name of the machine) especially if you tell them your a honer of razors.

Damn Hirlau, don't go there!
Soon everybody will be into moon rocks, I can hardly afford the Japanese!

200 years from now, they will be mining hones on the moon & selling them on StarBay.
