Great collection of stones !

You got it buddy! Maybe you should do a test flight on one before you hand them over

Your just trying to infect me with that HAD thing and I already have more stones than I ever thought I would. Maybe I am still in denial? No, I don't have it ........ They just happen to be next to dDucks when I was pulling the trigger ,,, honest :<0)

You may not have it, but that doesn't mean you won't GET it. In fact, with such close proximity to wolfpack's collection, it's only a matter of time.

nice collection of stones!

Very nice collection.
Truly inspirational.

Come on , just those? Just joking, very nice collection. See most of the job is done at 1k level and nobody have more than 1 or 2
1K level. Finishers we have 8-10.

Yeah the lower grit stones don't get all the love
I tell you though, that carborundum is one useful little stone. Setting bevels, lapping, slurry stone. Mike got me on to that too

It was such a breakthrough to get consistency in honing and since then I have enjoyed naturals immensely, through good and bad - and a new found draw to barber hones. I like everything from the history of the hones to their individual characteristics and unlocking their codes.
Anyway, big thanks to everyone and especially Mike for his countless pointers and "secrets". I have a bunch of "wants" on the list and lately I've been able to snag some good deals. Here's a snapshot of my rock garden...
