Thanked: 8Barber hone - what to do about chips
I'm new at this, so I don't want to go full-bore into honing. But I do need to touch up my razors, so I figured I'd look for a decent barber hone.
i found what looks like a frictionite 00 in an antique shop not far, and it's cheap too. The problem are the chips: multiple chips, along both edges, affecting both homing surfaces. Some are up to a half-inch deep into the side.
Is there a way to "treat" the chips so that they're less liable to cause any damage to the blades? Either by sanding, or other methods? Is it worth my trouble, or should I just avoid the stone?
They also have a Swaty, that's in better shape, but more expensive. It also has chips, though less sizable.
Thoughts?
