Today I got both my Dubl Duck Barber Hone, and my Escher. Both as described. I lapped the Escher as outlined here, and coated the bottom with Krylon and the end with Sally Hanson Hard as Nails. I had some razors that were ready, shaved arm hair like crazy, gave them all 40 laps on the Escher and they seemed like another razor! I did not have a slurry stone, so just used water. Works great. Now I have
DMT Coarse
DMT XXfine
Blue Belgium
Coticule
Escher
Dubl Duck

I would like a Swaty if I can find a nice one, but I think I am pretty set now!
