    I've tried to get him interested but he only wants the tennis ball that is behind the box.

    Default Just bought the Veritas pond....nice if your not carpenterically inclined.

    I took the easy way out and bought the Veritas Stone Pond. It comes with Silicon Carbide grit to lap your stones when they eventually need it, and the pond braces two stones at a time, but if you're innovative, you can make it hold three simultaneously. I use it with my Norton 4k/8k, and my Shapton Cream colored 15k and my purple 30k. BTW, some folks are partial to non-stainless steel due to its easier stropping characteristics. I was convinced that the shave I got from my Bergischer Löwe was impossible to beat. Then I honed my stainless M.O.P DOVO in stages..Norton 8k, Belgian ~12k, Shaptom 15k, then the Shapton 30K. My GOD...that bevel wll cut through a dense Italian beard without a complaint (mine). And after 25 shaves, it still does not require rehoning..but I've been very careful to strop, linen to leather, and the results are great. Just have to be very careful where you lay that razor. A bevel cut at 30k can cut skin cells clear in half, with clean cuts through the mitochondria! But I will say, I love the ingenuity of your home made stone holder/lap system. Somehow, homemade projects make the hobby (any hobby) much more enjoyable.

    Icedog, YOU ARE THE MAN! Nice job on the box and setup. I strongly believe that hones should be boxed to protect them. Do you use the GDLP and the pond? They make the whole setup really purr.

    Howard,

    I do use the GDLP. I do not use the pond. I hold the GlasStones in my hand over the kitchen sink which I managed to salvage from this Beautiful Paul Rudolph modernist masterpiece:
