    Plan is to take a W&B 8/8 for a refresh to the Nani 12k, which always works for me, but this time, going to try going to go to this Escher after to get a nice smooth Escher edge. Tried this before, and it never seems to work, any insights as to how I should approach this? I realize I'm going potentially back in grit from the 12k, but I still should be able to finish on this stone. I've just tried refreshing only using the Escher before, same as with the Nani 12k, 20 laps, no more, and doesn't seem to refresh the edge.

    Here's the stone I'm going to use, this seems to be an older Escher stone, very dark blue, almost black in colour.

    Massive frustration and rage sure to follow, but here's the plan for a nice Sunday afternoon....

    Not familiar with that stone. But I like to do about (don't count) 60-80 passes on a blue/green Thurigan, after the 12k.
    Gives me a superb,smooth shaving edge on all my blades. No need for cr/ox or fabric, just leather. 30 slurried,50 water.
    Leaves a nice foggy finish.

    Thanks! Did exactly that, doubled and went to 40, wasn't satisfied, and ended up doing at least 80, slow and gentle over the Escher Water Hone, water only, will be up for the only test that counts for me, see if it shaves silky smooth....

    I used my cousin's Thuringian on 6 of his 7 razors that I honed for him. I've got to say that stone is a stiff competitor against my coticule. So much that I had him order another stone just like it for me.

    I don't know yet how much mine is going to cost me but I'm sure it will take a Brinks truck to deliver the cash to him.
