WOW!
Very impressive, David!
Very impressive, David!
My problem is that I have stones stashed all over the place!
I recently rame across this one that I had forgotten about. I couldn't make out all of the logo on the box. The only thing I could make out, with the aid of a loupe, is "Choice Razor Hone." I have seen these boxes around before, but couldn't find anything in a timely manner, so I sent a note with photo to a recognized expert.. Peter Buhlmann (Hatzicho,) in Germany.
He replied with a very kind note, and a wealth of information. He said it was an S.R, Droescher box, and the center of the logo, which I could not make out, had a stylized SRD. He also told me that this was Old Rock from the Gustave Jacques era, and that the wildly wavy transition was indicative of that.
So, I'm happy to have rediscovered this coticule, and will soon put it through it's paces..
My thanks to Peter for so readily sharing his extensive knowledge. He is a gift to the straight razor/stone community!

Beautiful coti
Pyrite is a funny one. I’ve had a few various stones with it, and then researched about it a bit...
The range of hardness that it can occupy mirrors very closely that of hardened steels. Which means until you use a stone it’s basically going to be impossible to tell whether a pyrite inclusion will be toxic. And it’s also perfectly possible that it could be an issue on some steels but not on others.
(Whereas something like a sizeable quartz inclusion is always gonna be tricky whatever way you spin it).
My La Lorraine has patterning and the layered sides as well…certainly not normal BBW! The edges off of it are SUPERB…as a matter of fact…I will finish something on it later this week since the edges are sooo sharp yet face friendly!
Thanks for posting David…reminded me of this big old gem!
Very nice, my friend!!

That's FAST, Gary!
Those are great looking stones there Gary.
Beautiful stones @gary haywood !!
So, the stone from the Pennsylvania Coticule Cache has arrived. Very similar to Gary's two coticules. Prominent manganese lines portends a fast stone, and initial tests confirm. I get steel coloring the water within five strokes on plain water only.
A pretty stone..

This came from Ryan?
Nice looking stone, Bill.
I've never had to do this before..
I'd like to seal what's left of the label to the BBW. What is the clearest and most protective material. I have polyurethane spar varnish here.. I've used it on my JNats.
