Came across a great deal today.
Since I've had my straight for a few weeks I went by the old Royal Barber Shop today to see if I had been stropping right. A couple of the barbers there are over 70 years old and really know their straights. They took a look at my Dovo and said it was just fine, and also gave me a few little tips on the use and care of it. I asked if there was anyplace in town where I could get a hone and they didn't know of one. Then Billy said "Since all we use now are the injector ones, here, stick this in your pocket and take it with you" as he handed me a Carborundum 159 sharpening stone, ex. hard ex. fine, still in the old original box. A hand written price on the box was $3.00.
Can't complain about a freebie like that. :y
