Eschers are fine finishing stones. The labeled Eschers suggest using them with a slurry and they were supplied with slurry stones of the same material. Some honers find it effective to begin with a slurry and dilute as they go down to clear water to finish while others use the hone with water only. One way or the other these are wonderful finishing stones for honing razors to a sharp and smooth edge. If there is a consensus on the equivalent grit to a synthetic stone it seems to be in the area of 12 to 15k. Some find an Escher will improve the edge off a [[Belgian Hones|Coticule]]. Some recommend moving as high as 12k before switching to an Escher as they can be slow cutters, but good polishers.
