One Hone
If you could only have one hone, what would it be? I keep hearing about barber hones, and how quick they are to use.
Also, this hone would only be for regular use, not for restoring a totally dull razor. I am just trying to get ideas of when that time comes to purchase a hone. Thank you.

If I had to choose only one, I would keep my hard black Arkansas stone.

+1 ...If (IF!) Naguras can be included then any fine finishing JNAT will be all you ever need to repair, bevel set, and finish the edge.

Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

My first re hone gets to go see Lynn at SRD,I got a free hone certificate with my purchase.
So I figure I have a lot of time before I actually need to buy a hone. I wished there was one magical hone,but by the looks of this discussion there are many. I value all your opinions, so keep it coming

If I could only have one hone it would be one of my barber hones, all my edges are sharp, I just need to maintain them.
