Yes, David.. I've got quite a few stones from the Old Preu. And a few from Gary..You’ve got a 6x2 LV from Ol Preu that I’m sure is pure fire. I believe you bought it from Gary? I’ve drooled over it for years now
No Steve leave some stones for the rest of us.Thanks Rick,
The best part is not the stone, but watching him shave. He’s one of the very few people that I will watch shaving, lol. You can learn something from him about shaving. Tip of the hat @gary haywood
I do note that he said twice that he prefers JNat edges, but his coti edge was JNat quality.
I’ve been dabbling in cotis and now have two that can compete with top tier JNats.
Maybe I need to buy some more cotis ….

Agreed. Stay in your lane Steve!No Steve leave some stones for the rest of us.
I also have two E. Morris "Old Rock" coticules in the same size. The boxes are marked" Extra Extra."Very nice old rock. I have wondered who all produced the small barber size coti's like this. I have one of the same size that's a very nice stone, no label though
She’s a beauty Bill!Here's an old stone, fairly recently acquired, that I seem to have neglected to photograph and post.
An "Old Rock" in a 4x2 Barber's size. The box and label carry the logo from the Jacques operated mine. There is a lot of confusion and conjecture on what these labels mean. The label carries the signature of S.R. Droescher, not the Jacques name, but it is definitely "Old Rock."
A natural combo, this stone is very fine, very hard and very fast, turning a misty slurry the color of steel with very few strokes. I generally finish with misty slurry on a coticule to obtain a smooth, fluffy shave. The slurry on this one may perhaps need to be a bit heavier.
In any case, I'm very happy to have this stone, and it has alrerady proven to me that it deserves a place in the top tier.
