.......then I looked at my Les Latneuses slurry stone.
I was pretty sure this combo bout I have was a La Dressante. It's pretty hard, but velvety smooth when honing, and also nice and quick.
The other day I was working up a slurry with my Les Latneuses slurry stone (obvious coti/'hybrid' combo), and noticed some pink streaks on the stone, and they matched up well with the bout. So I looked a little closer and couldn't tell the two apart.
The coti layers were almost perfect matches. There are also greyish streaks on the side view of the stones. Of course, one is a natural coti/BBW combo and the other has the coti/'hybrid' mix. I noticed a thread here by Bart saying that not all Les Latneuses combos are coti/'hybrid' combos, and that there may be coti/BBW Les Latneuses combos.
So that's when my 95% sure identification of the bout as La Dressante changed to about 70% sure......still La Dressante, but perhaps not.
Either way, it's an excellent hone. It puts a very fine shaving edge on a razor, and is pretty quick. However, all my cotis put a very fine edge on a razor (with proper technique), so that's not saying much. :
What do you guys think?
