Good day to all!
I recently acquired an antique honing stone online, and would like to ask for your help in identification.
It came from France, and was said to be part of a collection of old tools of a barber. When lapped, it was producing a bright ash grey, milk like slurry. Judging by the smell of it, it was most probably used with oils rather than water. Attaching pics both in dry and wet state.
Would it be a good idea to try it as a finishing stone after a N8k? Or should this be rather used as a base for slurry stones? Let me know what you think. Cheers!
