The HHT in real life

Have you tried much with that little boxed [small]thurry[/small] Gaz? I got mine from Jay and to my face it feels like the Escher and the Coticule, as we said I do not believe that in a blind test anyone could tell the difference.
I might start a thread about it?

After all this talk about them, I got one recently from Ian (SliceOfLife). The only difference I could tell so far is that I'm more likely to cut myself. I have only tried it on one razor, though.

Gary and I have both tried the Thuringians and Eschers, and both found that we couldn't tell any difference from a well honed Coticule edge, I think the only difference may be that the German stones are a little easier to get great results off?

And yes the size is a pleasure, got to watch that thumb though, ouch!

i would say your quite right. All the hype about eschers and the price i would say these are great for the money.

Gary and Ralf do you find that the edges coming from coticules and Escher's are exactly same?
I repeatedly compare my heritage old rock coticule and my Escher.For me the coticule's edge is smoother and longer. Whats your opinion.
Best regards
