Thread: Decisions... Decisions... In need of a finisher hone...

See Ron you and I have the same sick humor... I posted that exact vid last time these outrageous numbers came up... hehehehe

What's funny is people think these high grits will equal a better shave. It's so not about the finisher. People hone, get a bad shave, then take and get a new finisher. Learn to use your 1 and 3/4/5k first. Shave off the 1 k. Shave off your 3-5. Live. Learn. Leave the 80k alone.

Wow they must be awesome rocks



You don't think this could be "Gilding the Lilly do ya" I am sure these are all well documented claims...


Yes that was sarcasm

Hahaha. Yup. IF you had read my original post you would have seen that I attributed this high grit rating to my love of the stone and made the grit assessment "tongue in cheek" knowing that nobody but the famous gssixgun could make such a well documented claim. Yes that too was sarcasm. In the end I have no idea as your guess is as good as mine. Maybe it's 4000 grit. It don't matter. It is a great rock and that, my boy, is ALL that matters.

Ha!

We aren't the sick ones!

I really adore that movie, even though some of the people to whom I have recommended it have told me after viewing it that their opinion of me diminished because of it.

didn't you know, every time I read about someone using the same stone as mine and not getting a nice shave is at least adding 1K to my verry special version of the stone

"These go to 11..." I love it! This kind of thinking pretty much permeates this country. When logic makes no sense at all... LOL.

BTW, any notice those sweet Gibsons behind them! (drooling)
