It shaved great, had to do rolling x though. I don't usually clean i vintage b blade but makers mark is so small and crusty i may have to clean it off.

Wait! What? You only use a Barber's hone for the whole process (bevel to finish)? I want to do that so please share with me how you are able to do that! Either thru PM or here or email!

I don't want to have stones that I don't need to get the same results as that is a waste!

Thx.

One leg at a time?

Barbers Hines have been around a long time just for that reason , talk to Ron( Utopian ) he once said he kept his razors shaving for years with a good barbers hone. Sometimes the stone craze is about acquisitions more than needed, it's nice to have these fine edges from the high grit hones but they can be had without them, Tc

That is what I am trying to avoid!!

I have a few old barber hones & one is called a Red Devil & it is red. Although I have never tried this one yet, I have a feeling it would make a good edge on a razor.
