Thanks guys. I’ll let you all know how I like it after a few shaves.
Congratulations! Beautiful stone you have there! How many Thuringian stones do you have now lol

This is my Unicorn! Ever since I started shaving with a straight, I’ve wanted a SRD Thuringian. My very first NOS straight razor finds were a S.R. Droescher Blue Diamond and a SRD Quick & Easy. They are wonderful razors, but man those stones aren’t easy to find! Congratulations, please share photos once it’s lapped!

A gentleman never tells...
I don’t have that many honestly, maybe 8-10. Ish. Are you still getting along with yours?

Wow, really? It feels like you must have in the range of 20-30, you aren’t hiding them from yourself are you?
I love my Barbers Delight, it’s an amazing stone. They will have to pry it from my cold dead fingers! Now if I could only find that SRD Thuringian I’ll be set!

The only person I hide stones from is my wife. Haha
You will be set until your next HAD comes along!
This is true..... I have yet to try a JNAT, I fear I’ll need to start hiding stones from my wife at that point too.... lol

That bit about sticking to the lapping plate reminds me of my Y/G Escher with the "Guaranteed Soft" label. It is quite soft like that when lapping as well. I think you will like it.
Over time I have slowly gotten rid of my harder blue Thuringians and really gone toward the light green and yellow. I find them to be over achievers compared to the rest.

Nice, very nice stone, box and label. Been looking for a Fox 44 for some years with no luck. Happy honing
Funny, a Fox 44 is one of several unicorns to me. Here is a second SRD i just made a box for I have had for a few years. Have not decided To glue label back on or put inside top of case with a plexiglass cover.
That would be pretty cool.

Thank you, have 3 more trying to find the time to finish, soon
I likey likey. I used .031 Lexan cut for a tight wedge fit. Did not want to use screws that could hit the stone.
That's how you preserve a label. Great work, Tim.
Just used my first Escher a Blue Green and really liked the results!
Finally lapped that boxed escher from a few pages ago.
Nice stone those are a great size too. Is it light green or yellow?
It looks like it was at a transition point between and are a bit mixed. The bottom where the label was affixed partially was jacked and they just slapped it on anyway

This was a nice score in a rather tatty wood box. It is unmarked and unlabeled. The size of a Barbers Delight, 6 x 2 with rub stone. Both are light green in color.
