Left coticult/BBW combo 1.25 x 7
Straights from top to bottom:

Lastly another mystery hone 2 1/2 x 8
JrJoeD will be over this weekend. If you would like a closer look at any of there let me know and I'll post the pic after Jr snaps them for my database.
Enjoy.

Wow! ¿How do you guys do it?
Pics of both hones please! I want to make sure that isn't an extra-wide vintage Thuringian...

Great haul! I'm also very interested in seeing more pics of the mystery hone.

Pics of the hones? You would ask for that. My camera doesn't focus on the hones very well but I will do my best.
The mystery hone is very hard. I don't think it is a Thuringian. I was lapping it on 150 grit wet/dry paper and it didn't take much off. What did get lapped was very very shiny blue grey color. Very little dust off the hone. It isn't far from flat but it is going to take quite a while to get it there.
The weight and feel of the Bull Frog feels very inviting. I can't wait to shave with it but I should wait for JrJoeD as he will want to try it out also and he likes to use the same razor I use and I still have a bunch waiting for their first run.“If you always do what you always did, you will always get what you always got.” (A.

Nice haul. Now please explain what you mean by flea markets?? Around here we only have garage sales and they can be a pain.

A flea market is a public place that rents out tables/booths areas for people to sell their stuff. Imagine 100 yard sales all in one location. That is what a flea market basically is.
