Finishing Stones for Straight Razors
While there are several options, there are a few that are very popular.
- Synthetic Water Stones: Grit ranges for finishing 8k-25k (average)
- Natural Stones
- Belgian Coticule: Stone from the Addrennes mountain range. Known for variable hardness levels and the ability to hone with one stone
- Japanese Natural: Variable hardness levels. Lot’s of blade feel. Can be expensive
- German Thurigian: Slate like stone. Escher was a major producer from the 1790s until mid 20th century.
