    Today my vintage Les lat coticule came in unexpectedly. I lapped it and polished it. Took a razor that was shaving well and did water only strokes until the feedback told me to stop. Smooooooth. Can't wait for the shave later!

    I'm not falling for it this time. Tempting, but I've got more naturals than I have time to use already (though those big rough cut slab Zulus would be very cool-nope, can't do it, trying to build up my PayPal account, damn!).

    edit: Oh, crap-I just put one in my cart and applied the coupon code-somebody stop me!

    Solitarysoldier: I'm fairly new (not to life but to straight razor shaving & honing), this is the first I seen polishing a stone. Could you explain that to a willing learner?

    Solitarysoldier: "I lapped it and polished it" How do you polish a hone?
