Thread: $25 BIN for 'koher' hone

It's great that at least one member's getting his money's worth out of the slate hone. Lynn's review will be highly anticipated.

Check this here for Lynn's thoughts: http://straightrazorpalace.com/showt...hlight=italian

But Lynn is still going to test the piece that he has and don't forget MP and his Arkansas experiment.

How would you rate it? Coarse, medium, fine. Slow, Fast.

I am sorry it took so long to get back to your question.
I have actually used this stone as a finishing hone on a W&B bow razor and a frederick reynolds wedge with good results! I received an altima55 shave ready razor today so that I could compare. as far as sharpness and shaveability the W&B rates equal with the shave ready from altima55. the wedge was a slightly lesser quality shave but not bad. also I use no cutting pastes after honing, just a little jewelers rouge on the canvas side for polishing the edge and then strictly leather until the next time I need to hone!

as for the speedof cutting I would have to say slow to medium slow.
