    Default Van Camp velvet edge

    Has anyone heard of a van camp barber hone. I found one at an antique shop. Can they be shaved off of or used to touch up razors?

    I don't know of that brand, but there are probably dozens out there that I have never heard of. Barber hones vary in quality. A photo would help. If it is in decent condition, then it will probably refresh a razor, if you know how to. I collect a few barber hones but rarely use them to maintain my razors. If you are in search of a stone to maintain your razors, then maybe you should examine others before making a purchase.

    Nice looking stone, thanks for sharing it. It should be fine for touching up your razors.

    there is so much out there that has been packaged and sometimes embossed for this company or that one it gets pretty hard to tell where it came from. A little experimenting goes a long ways. As long as it is sound give er a go.
