What's your best LOOKING finisher?

Learning is the best part. I don’t think my wife agrees lol.

"Look what I found"
Thanks! It’s a small pile but it does what I need it to!
Haha she’ll be happy once the learning to hone mess of water and slurry goes away lol
She said to get a hobby and she didn’t say what. Oh well
Sulfur smell=turkish oilstone
Ohira Suita - Big *** chunk. Hones great. These pictures are older ones when the vendor still had it. I don't really care for wooden stands. So I took this one off and was lucky as he said it was not put on very well, he'd never gotten around to making a proper stand for it. It is debatable if this is my nicest looking finisher, especially since its suita, and not technically awasedo, but it can and does finish razors and produce a killer edge that I need to shave the thick, coarse forest of scraggly hair that has taken root in my face.
Very nice looking coticules. Beautiful, in fact.I really don't think any stones stand a chance against Japanese Naturals, but here is a family photo of my most interesting looking Coticules. The pictures aren't the best, so they really aren't doing the stones justice

This isn't the coolest looking Les Lat I've seen, but they all exude a certain level of cool.

Very nice.
Sorry my post repeating the pictures four times. I don’t actually know why. I tried to delete those but I’m not finding the tools to do it. At least not on my phone.
Thank you!
Btw, i tried checking your media for the asagi stone you told me about but i couldnt find it.
Ok. I’ll check it again.
I might not have posted it. I have a couple of those now. They are both Ozuku Asagi.
What is probably my prettiest (to me) coticule is already up here from a couple years ago. I've got a number of quite special Les Lat Hybrids, a very unusual and pretty BBW and a crazy looking Rouge du Salm as well as some quite pretty Jnats... but that speckled Coticule is so pretty, I'd may some day frame it and put it on my wall as a work of art.
Just sold another beauty. The only half decent photo I've got is this one I took to sell it. I'll miss her.
But my prettiest stone to my eyes is this one that David helped me snag. It was oil crusted and dirty as could be when he found it on eBay and linked it to me as maybe being a Thuringian if I wanted to gamble. When I cleaned it up, I found this underneath. It's a Pierre Du Sud Ouest cut to almost perfect 7x1.5x0.75 Escher dimensions... The backside is almost as pretty, but distinct as well, but this is her best angle.
