Sunday Night Showdown. With Lumerjack Luxury!

Sunday Night Shave with Lumerjack Luxury!

I am very proud of this collaboration with my good friend Matthew Lawrence.

The razors are honed on slates.

Koraat ln Pierre de Sud Quest,
Sometimes called a “French Thuringian” for its similar use and functionality as a razor hone. It does not share any geological commonality to the actual German Thuringian stone, originating from different geological formations and regions. The stone is commonly a light tan and never gained any real traction as a commercially exported stone. It was however very common in France for some time and secondhand versions come up in the market.

Bengal on SlikStone.
A somewhat similar stone to the Welsh Slate above, there are differences though in how it looks/feels/performs comparatively. A good chance this is the same Silkstone that comes from the Sheffield area, specifically Dronfield is where it seemed some small quarries were. This seam though runs through Whiteland, Gleadless, Norfolk Park, and then descends into the Sheffield Valley. Unlike other stones, it is very hard to determine this stone’s exact location in the UK and this is – thus far – a best guess. It tends to be a bit less abrasive, more reflective at the surface, and provide more feedback than the Welsh Slate / Yellow Lake family of stones. The color is also usually darker, more of a grey black comparatively. Silkstones by name were only officially produced by Cambrock, though it is highly likely AB Salmen also put out a Silkstone product based on comparisons of stones by the community. The analogous grit of Silkstones is similar to Yellow Lake as well, maybe being a tad bit higher than the 10k-12k+ range and similarly get to the higher end through use of oil – but water is still viable for functional use.
