    Default Whoopa! (Yellow / Green)

    The mailman just delivered and boy am I glad

    One hone is a Celebrated Razor hone and the other looks like the elusive Y/G

    Cheers
    Ivo

    ps. To the people I talked about getting me Y/G - we are still on, I'd take one more just to compare them

    Which ones the Y/G? They both look grey to me

    Neale, it's the bottom one. In real life there is significant difference, I thought it's still seen alright on the photo but maybe not...

    Neale,
    Look for the other threads on Eschers. I posted a thread showing all the colors side by side in good lighting.
    I think it was called Green Eschers, Blue, Eschers...

    Update: I don't think I've been screwed. I won an (almost) identical "celebrated razor hone" from the same vendor two weeks ago. It hasn't arrived and I've had some trouble getting in touch with the vendor. When I saw this post I rather jumped to the conclusion that the vendor had sold my stone to Ivo. It now looks like the vendor has (or had) several of these and mine may have been misdelivered.

    Some clarification is needed here for those not involved: which vendor and which stones are you guys talking about??

    Talking about the Celebrated Water hone, which I got from 3tuza, who sells on ebay. He also told me he has several Eschers for sale. I had a great experience with him but let's wait and see what happens with Curtis

    Cheers
