That Diamond is a stunner. (And the Filly ain’t too shabby, either...)

 

I Got this Rather Minty NOS Factory Fresh PET LUDW SCHMIDT Elberfield - Solingen 3/4 Hollow 6/8th Today..Honed on a Naniwa Super Stone Progression & Finished on My 16 K + Escher Thuri..I Got it to Turnover But I Reckon its Possibly a Keeper..Och Naw..No Another Keeper..

Its One Real Beautiful High Quality Solingen Blade..Beautifully Ground & Shines Like a Mirror..

Most of the NOS Razors I Get on EBay & the Sellers Dont Know or Advertise them as NOS Razors..They are Usually Just Vintage Item Sellers in General & Know Little about SRs..Thats Where I get My Bargains..Poor Little Auld Ladies that Know No Better So to Speak..

Also..I Seem to Have a Sharp Hawk Eye for NOS Blades in General..

This Seller here is Very Good..I Can Vouch for that..He Sells High Quality NOS Razors or Mint Ones..His Hone Jobs are Nice n All..

Got this Barbers Thuringian Stone Today in the Post..Its Very Similar in Color & Fine Glass Finish & Texture of My Own Escher Thuri which has a 16 + Finishing Capacity..I Can Probably Push 17 K + Out of it with Tallow Lather for Finer Polishing..

The One I Just Got is in the Paddle Type Base..It was Flat & Just Needed a Few Ticks with 350 to 1000 grit Wet n Dry to Lap it Uber Smooth..I Got it for £ 11.00 Pounds Posted on Ebay..The Seller Didnt Know what it Was..But Hey..I Spotted it a Mile Away & Was 99 % Sure what it Was..

Regardless what Anybody Says Thuringian Stones VARY a LOT..I Have Tested a Number of Em...They Can Vary from around a 10 1/2 K Finishing Capacity to Maybe 17 K +..Also.Some Escher Thuri Stones are Way Down at the 10 1/2 K Mark..As a Rule of Thumb the Darker Black/Blue Ones are Very Poor Performers Compared to these Lighter Colored Stones..This will Not be Written in Stone Of Course..No Pun Intended..

This Stone I Just Got is Very Similar in Fineness to the One I have..Albeit I Have Not Shave Tested it Yet..It Might Even be Smoother...Time Will Tell..I Wanted a Similar Performing Thuri to My Own Encase I Drop it or have a Mishap with it..

These Very Fine Thuringian Stones are Not Easy to Find..
