Thread: Hypothetical Question

If your entire razor rotation consisted of,15 Filly 14s,all in near mint condition,most N.O.S.
If you had all of them Pro honed to perfection, and all 15 were unused since being pro honed.
If you have as finisher hones,A Nakayama Kiita (SP) a Ozuku 100lv5,both with Nagura,a genuine Escher with rubbing stone,A Charnley,a Le grise coti and a le Vienntte ( do not know how to spell these words so pls forgive me)
If you used one razor each day,and the next the next day:I:E each razor would be used approx two times per/Mo.
If you could keep and use only one of the above stones to maintain the edges for the rest of your life,
Which stone would you choose?

The Escher,,,

Unless I could test each stone, then I would chose which ever I liked the best, but going in blind the Escher without a doubt, all the other stones are an unknown until tested, the Escher is as sure a bet as you get with a Natural IME

Let the bidding wars commence on the auction sites.

All joking aside I have no clue as I haven't used a Filli or an Escher, but both are highly regarded.

@Glen, hope you don't mind my joke.

Joke nuttin the prices for these stones are nutz already hehehe and if Jimmy were within arm's reach I would probably take a swing at him ... with him putting that YG Escher in the classifieds at the one time I can't spend the extra money.... Dumb stupid road going out dumb stupid culvert dumb stupid springtime hehehehe

Going in blindly the Escher sounds like the best choice.
The choice may change if all stones are available to be tested against each other.

The Escher...

...AND i saw that classified ad of Jimmy's. My heart stopped. The paypal account is too low. Glen, what if we go fifty fifty, and I use it six months of the year and then mail it to you for six months of the year????

It sold too fast, I was gonna see if he would take the pink slip to my car.

I need to make more money, not being Rich is interfering with this obsession/addiction.
