Thread: Don't forget your local retired barber.

Well me and Mr. Young finally got together and he pulled out a box of hones and mine eyes were immediately drawn to the few natural stones.

He sorted and picked and selected four for me to choose from. I reached for the "made in belgium" yellow coticule on a slate backer. Then he doesn't want any money.

So i gave him a tenspot for his time--the rock was a gift. He was happy, and my edges are now much better, but i've yet to acquire a good strop.
