Clifton,

I really have not used it enough, and especially not enough by itself. For me it's a step after the Coticule and before Chromium (most often, right now)

To give an objective answer I...

I'd like my stone sent directly to me

Thanks
Ivo

Oh, and my shipping ZIP is FL, 32751

Thank you
Ivo

Howard,

I don't have your extensive knowledge but it seems some Eschers come with same grade slurry stone in a box that looks to be original and made to hold same stone (note the grooves in the...

Rich, I am hardly the man to tell you this!

I was just posting this to let Cliffton know that he will have his money from me as soon as he wants it

Cheers
Ivo

I am thinking we need to pay :)

Looking forward to details

Cheers
Ivo

Rich - I was trying to say that I'm not kicking and screaming to take it on (pretty busy) but I will do it if nobody else can spare the time - if it turns out to be such a money saver.

Cheers

I am trying to simplify my life so if someone else is willing to receive them in USA and ship out - great.

If nobody else is willing, and if it does make it much cheaper - I am open to receiving...

Kees - it's worthless then. I'll help you out - you paid $30 for it? - I'll take it off your hands for say $15

:roflmao :roflmao :roflmao

Actually, there are many ways to work this:
1. Some...

Same here, Cliffton

Cheers
Ivo

Gotta love the small Eschers - I just used mine to improve the edge on a razor that was giving me some trouble. Threw pretty much anything else I have and it was a bit sketchy on the HHT. So I broke...

I'd be interested in 1x4 or 1x5 if possible and if not - it really doesn't matter to me if the parts are cut 1x1 or 1x2. But I might be tempted to get a 1x2 and try to use it for honing - running it...

Well - there you go, thank you

Sweeney Todd - I have no problem being doubted at all :D And I do think that in this light (having info on opposing philisophies about using hones for others who...

Mark,

I can only say I did use oil on my Escher, then I cleaned it and have been using water lately. I get nice smooth edges either way.

Again, my experience is limited, so it is possible that...

LOL, I just remembered once you said you have seen it too...

Cheers
Ivo

Let me start by saying that I don't mean to sound didactic :D

However, I said: "...Eschers were once sold with instructions to use either water or oil on the label..."

I don't see how the fact...

Not in my (limited) experience. 1st - it was easy to clean the oil. Second, it worked very well on my hone. Third, Eschers were once sold with instructions to use either water or oil on the label....

Well, I'm interested in whatever configuration you choose. I'm sure other are, too

Cheers
Ivo

Curtis,

you have missed the part about me cutting it into 1" wide hones :D

Actually, I think the best variant will be to cut it into several parts - small slurry stones for you and the others,...

50 / slurry stone seems a bit high. On the other hand, the stones suggested at this price are big (2x1) and I was thinking 20-30 for a 1x1 slurry stone, so maybe it's ok.

Having said this, I have...

I have used water, oil, and a Celebrated Water hone (which I undersand is a Thuringen / Escher stone). I like the latter most.

By the wayl oil worked well too (better than water, in my experience)...
