    Default White "Apart" hone

    Anybody ever see a white "Apart" hone? The one I see reviewed here obviously isn't white.

    APART Barber hone test

    If possible, I need a quick answer.

    I have heard of one, no idea of quality, sorry.
    The older I get the more I realize how little I actually know.

    some of the barber hones were different colors even though they were the same quality. It is believed the the color came from the filler, if memory serves me correct. I have two frictionate hones that are the same except for the color.

    Well, like it or not, I have one coming. We'll see... Also, a Dura-hone(found no info) and a 2-line Swaty from what I can tell.... package deal.

    Nice. Barber hones are the gateway hone that will take you to full blown HAD. You will have a lot of great company though.

    I'm just wondering where it's all going to fit in with what I current have. King 1K, Naniwa 3/8K, 12K, CrOx .3...

    Any ideas or encouragement would be helpful.

    Thanks, Rez.

    The kiddie pool cost me less than $20 for each. I know. Expensive right? guess I needed a learnin'.

    I lap all(almost all) of my barber hones. I have bought a few on eBay that look as if they are deteriorating. Swelling, delaminating as I would hone with them, I wouldn't try lapping them either.
