It's why I want to do the second rotation. I'm wondering if the sand blasted effect wasn't been helped by a few deeper chosera scratches. Next time it'll be polished before it goes to the La...

Right just had my first shave off it. Using a no brand Astra straight.

Progression was 1K chosera, La Lorraine, Crox on balsa, Hard veg tan strop.

The 1K was a regular bevel set on a less then...

Do we know who EGS were?

There is a reason you appear on every thread about these stones isn't there!

Also do you have a scan of the label? If EGS were the only 140mm stones then mine has to...

I managed to get a razor on it. Working from 1K through slurry. It was going really well. Polishing once I hit pure water then I stopped and added oil, was just like the 8K naniwa finish, bright...

Been in the garden, the light is flat and pretty poor today but the pictures don't look so bad.

I have a willing victim. It might take me a day or 2 to get it on the rock. And I need pictures in daylight before I push a razor on it I think.

My wife thinks I'm insane.... I've been...

Just lapped it. Damn it's soft! 325 grit ate it really fast, so I took it to 600 thinking it would slow down a little, Then to 1K diamond. Even at 1K it was insane at producing slurry! The sink water...

I think we have a winner. More pics will follow tomorrow with the daylight.

All I've done is wash and wet it.

The price I paid for this rock I feel like I stole it!

It's arrived......

Pictures need to be taken. It's not a slate. :D

140 x 70 x 20 exact.

0 face wear, no dishing, looks like it's been used once or twice then shelved.

Looks to be a tight...

I don't own any coticule or BBW's. They have been on the list but I want old stone. I'll also pick one up with a gamble auction again. I like the gamble, It adds that christmas like feel to the...

That stone is one of your Goldfisch Wetzstein's I recognise the pictures.

I think I must be learning something. It's still a gamble but I think the theory of the gamble has been correct. I almost...

I should have it by the end of next week.

The auction has been bugging me for a few days now, I've looked at the pictures probably 50 or so times. And every time I've looked it's been well it...

Had a little gamble today. Won an auction for £11. What it is I have no idea, nor did the seller who couldn't even spell natural correctly.

I think it's probably a purple slate. It looks older...
