Need a hand please

I was watching a show yesterday, Modern Marvels, and it was all about sharpening. Showed all kinds of awesome computer graphics and discussed edge grinds, heat treat, and sharpening tools.

I saw a barber using a combo stone to sharpen his straight razor, brown on one side and black on the other. (He used water on it). He then used a canvas/leather barber strop to finalize his work. I want a stone like this! It was more square than rectangular. Anyone know where I can find one? I have searched the web to no avail. :grumpy:

I am not sure but it sounds like a Japanese water stone.

Great now I just remembered the hundreds of dollars I'd love to spend on sharpening apparatus.

Sounds like a combination waterstone like Tony said.
