Ok so the title is not exactly accurate but relevant .:D
Given the availability of 1 nice new Barber Hone or 1 nice almost-new razor of good vintage quality which would you spring for?

Man, that's really tough for me. Personally, I'd probably go for the razor because I have a nice set of stones already. However, a nice new Barber Hone is a good find... I don't know what I'd do to be honest. It would really depend on the razor...Quote:

And depending on the brand we're already feeling the pressure for nice vintage razors.
:confused:
It would depend but unless I really wanted that particular brand of barber hone badly I would opt for the razor.
I'd take the razor. I've had some nice barber hones, and I don't care for them; I prefer larger hones. I also have a view of hones that I only keep what I need for my honing progression... and whatever was given to me as a gift.
