Not necessarily razor related I'm afraid, but I have a load of old SiC / Carborundum stones that have come as part of job lots. Some coarser, some finer, some combis, some funny shapes.
Silicon Carbide stones are very hard-wearing and incredibly good at what they're intended for - heavier duty stuff, tool sharpening, repairs and chip removal on knives, or sharpening western kitchen knives; Wusthofs, Sabatiers and similar. Also Globals, which are a feckin nightmare to sharpen on synthetic Japanese waterstones. Or as flattening stones, though they’re not necessarily completely flat atm, so you'd have to do that first.
These are originally oilstones though I have given them a bit of a clean, so could be used with water if you prefer.
I use one quite a lot and will probably keep a couple, but don't need a billion of them. So one or more: free for the cost of shipping. Ping a message if anyone's interested.
And a little example of why they're actually a very good thing to have about:
