Should you always wet a barbers hone before using it? The instructions on my Ezy Edge box don't say to.:thinking:

The Boker barbers hone I have, I was told it is a dry hone....hope this helps.
There's all kinds of them, dry, water or oil.
I can't see how water would ruin it, go ahead and try what's best for your razor!
Just check that it's flat!
A lot of barber hones recommend lather. Dry, wet, or lather will not hurt the hone BUT don't use oil unless it specifically calls out for it.
water will be fine, my laudys hones calles for kerosene, i wouldent recomend trying that tho lol
I have a Swaty, hardly affected by a dmt & water. Edlis special seems softer, can get a slurry with water and dmt. Everkeen is very soft, lots of slurry.
Answer? Depends which one.
