    Their coticules seem a little pricey but the prices on the Thurnigans look good.

    Thanks!

    Forum member Blaireau speaks very highly of them and he has more hones then Carter has liver pills if you are old enough to know what I mean. If not that is a lot of hones.
    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    The Thuringien hones as advertised are fantastic.

    I have one from the original source in Germany. Unfortuneately, Mr Muller only really likes to deal with the trade in bulk and so it's not easy to go to him direct, even though he has an internet site.

    You guys know the hone as a yellow green escher. It is better than my yellow coticule and I would say its a 12000+ grit hone. It's a pleasure to use and the blade sort of sucks to the hone to let you know when you are done if you know what I mean.

    It's the best finishing hone I have used and if you want to polish some more, chromium oxide will do the job if your feeling lazy or 100 strops on leather will give you just a fantastic edge.

    I've stopped looking since I bought one of them. Yes, that good......

    The site is as follows:

    MST - Müller Schleiftechnik

    You need to look under new product.

    Also I posted some photo's about a month ago showing the hone magnified X200.

    I contacted the Müller-company two weeks ago to see if they could send one to Austria. They replied, that a shop in my small home town(!) carried their products so I had that shop order me one which I got today. It's a beautiful hone, a yellow/green-grey Thuringian, very smooth and fine. They even included a slurry stone
    Already used it on two razors and am looking forward to shaving with them

    I only wish they were available in bigger sizes, 12.5 cm really is short

    Here it is, it's the shorter one. The longer one is a coarse sandstone from Austria which I have yet to give a try.
