who can tell me about this barbers hone?
So I went to about 7 different antique stores today looking for a barbers hone today and this is what I turned up it is a "wester bros DE-FI" combo hone. I only paid $10 so good or bad there's no regrets. I uploaded a couple of pictures of it but they are taken with my cell phone and there for not very clear. The back side of the hone is a yellow/green color and feels coarser that the front. The front is a dark blue/ grey/ black and feels much smoother. I lapped both sides first on 240 then on 320 grit sand paper mounted on a polished marble tile. Just wondering if a can get a little input on the hone, someone that can tell me definitively which side is coarser and what I expect out of the it, will this be sufficient for touching up a razor back to shave readiness or should I be going from this to a pasted strop? Any info would be greatly appreciated
