Thread: My New Toy... a NATURAL COMBINATION Beligian Stone with Pics!!

Well, I took everyone's advice and and have been talking on the phone and emailing Herbert at www.theperfectedge.com .
Well, it seems that after long debate, I have purchased <insert drum roll> a very rare natural occuring Beligian combination Yellow & Blue stone.
It seems that on occasion, a stone is cut between a yellow and blue seam giving a natural occuring Yellow/Blue stone. [Don't EVEN ask the price], but it IS an investment that I intend to hand on to my grandkids. Aside from being an absolutely beatiful stone, I have just used it on 2 different razors. One was an "Ebay" special, a REAL basket case, and the other - a very dull JA Henckels. Both came out ... p e r f e c t.
The Ebay "special" I hit with the Blue, then Yellow side, then onto the DOVO red pasted strop, then the DOVO extra wide strop.
The JA Henckels hit the Belgian Yellow side and then the red past strop and extra wide strop.
BOTH now can slice at the cellular level!!!!
BTW- The DOVO red paste with the white linen paste is primo. But the stone is absolutely wonderful... I have a light beard and will rarely introduce the Belgian Blue side to a straight razor [outside of another Ebay purchase] but I am speachless at the Yellow's ability to perform!
Thanks for the advice and I fully recommend the natural Belgian combination stones!!!


[Unfortunately, the picture does not show the true deep colors of the stone. I turned it on it's side so you could see the natural vein division]
