Yes, and It’s a great stone. Fast and also a good finisher. Next time I’ll try to use it from 5k.

Today, I tortured some stones again.
First my „new“ Essex 6/8 Razor on a Coticule La Veinette 170 x 47mm
Then the Admiral on my Coticule La Grise 200 x 75mm
My wife says I have to many of these „yellow stones“. So I am going to sell some of them (but for sure not the two above)

@Hellas beautifull razors.
A small razor. It says RUBA on one side 42 Garantie Paris on the other side. The size is 9/16.
The bevel fellt ok. So I started with a La Lorraine - Rouge du Salm (coticule variant). Finished on the thuringen bout.
The HHT failed miserably. The razor feels sharp tough and will cut hair about a 1 cm of the arm. I speculate it will be just fine.
I will just have to be the guinea pig.

I refreshed my gold plated Koraat on a 8k and then my Thurigian, but then I did something new, I stropped on a strop with diamond emulsion/paste. Wow that gave whole another level of smoothness and keenness to the edge.

Because I was too lazy to do the big stone show today, my "new" Adresso only got to see my big La Grise today. The Adresso could be sharpened super easy and fast. After 50 DS on the Levi's-Strop, 100 DS on Boxcalf Russia leather and 30 DS on Deer (Rooty's double strop) I am looking forward to my first shave with it.

After 50 DS on the Levi's-Strop, 100 DS on Boxcalf Russia leather and 30 DS on Deer (Rooty's double strop) I am looking forward to my first shave with it. I did a rehone of the le grelot 71. I lapped my shapton stones 1k, 2k, and 4k. Put a permanent marker line on the bevel and looked if it disappeared evenly. It did. Then took it to the progression of 1k, 2k and 4k. Then the ozuku with a tomo nagura and ended up on water and stropped.
It will now do HHT along the complete blade. I know there are lot of discussions and five categories of HHT. But it did better as before.
Thanks for the advice. I'll shave with it the next few days.
Because of the storm ciara the speed skating race of my son was cancelled. So I didn't have to hone his skating blades.
Instead I honed these razors. A damast blade leresche and a heljestrand mk 7.
The leresche I only did on the ozuku first with the tomo and then with plain water.
I did the hht. I have two other damast blade frameback. They manage hht fine. The normal steel one's not. But they shave fine.
The heljestrand went to the progression if the shapton 1k, 2k, 4k and then ozuku with tomo's. I did the tree topping fine. I think how it is calles when Hair is shaved about 1.5 cm from the skin.

The Dutch Headwind Cycling Championships were canceled as well, because of the storm, even though these championships only take place when there is a storm. Very disappointing.
A 5/8 blade. I cleaned up the blade, but didn't sand it down. I wanted to keep the etching.
Progress 1k, 2k, 4k shapton glass.
Followed nu ozuku with tomo.
Finishing on water. It is a german blade.
Does someone recognize the logo?

How many strokes do you give the razors on the Escher for touch up Onno?

Well I don’t know exactly. This time I guess 10 times circle movements at both sides and then 10 strokes.
The fill made a strange noice. Will find out tomorrow.

So had to get 2 dings out first tried my chosera 1k .... man this steel is hard... went nowere So luckely i have a chosera 400 (normally only use this for my kitchenknives) so used this for 1 hour and 15 minutes then the dings where finaly gone. Then onto the 1K and after that Superstone 3k and gouken hayabusa 4k.
