Thread: Barber hone with or without tape?

It is for exactly this reason that I dislike the idea of taped honing. I've got a good barber's hone, dammit, I want to USE it!

If 5 barber hone laps would fix it then would not 50 linen laps do about the same

Temporarily yes but not over the long haul. I think the use of linen does extend the time between touch ups but it does not replace them. Eventually a touch up on a hone, such as a barber hone, will be required.

Now hone it
Into shape
Shape it up
Get straight
Go forward
Move ahead
Try to detect it
Its not too late
To hone it
hone it good

Thank you for sharing this history of Devolution with us.

I was reading this post thinking that somehow this seems familiar...

Okay, I'll admit it. In the early 80's I attended a Devo concert.
There, I said it.
