For the honemeister who has everything but time
Could it really work ? Stick a razor in there and go buff some scales while the contraption hones it up.
I don't know if the claim of the stone being an Escher is accurate and it isn't an issue because I'd never buy this contraption but what a cool thing to show off at razor meets and such. Item # 290841072383 in case the link is dead.

Little does anyone know that Mr. Lynn Abrams himself has created his own version of this fascinating doohickey.

If any ebay listing has cried out for a video, this is it.
Lemur and mapleleafalumnus like this.
It was in original condition, faded red, well-worn, but nice.
This was and still is my favorite combination; beautiful, original, and worn.

+1. I thought the same thing. I might just message the seller and tell him so. I could imagine getting hypnotized watching that thing , if I had it, like it was an electric train set going around.

Looking at it, it looks like the weight at the top is what applies pressure on the stone -- and it is adjustable! This is without a doubt the coolest/ craziest razor related auction I have seen. So dang cool! thanks for posting!

Does it perform the HHT at the end of a honing session?

I would like to officially nominate Martin as our resident document hound. You are to documents what Mannah is to obscure razor info!
