I remember them when I was quite younger then I just saw one or two on the bay. I'm sure they a pocket stones for barbers just don't know.
The concave side is used to sharpen safety razor blades.
thanks. some day I would like to see how that's done. I would cut my fingers off
If you have seen a photo of one on the net, then post it here for us to see, it's not clear exactly what type of hone you are refering to.
It's probably a safety razor blade hone as Martin said.
Or it could be worn to death. :<0)
Normal to hone razor blades...just enter razor hone on the bay and you will find...how they worked i dont know...
The stone is called Gillette stone.
