Thread: Suffer from HAD? - How many do you have?

I dunno. I suppose I never contracted HAD much. Most rocks cost more than razors! Besides, I look at honing as necessary and rarely a pleasure. Just me.

Yeah, and it wears a razor. It's a nicer proposition to find a way to stretch the edge of a razor between honings and without using any abrasive. Then if you have a prized razor, you can use it for a decade every day if you want and put little wear on it.

That's the next step after hone happy, though, and it leads one to "wait...why again did I get all of these stones?"

God meant for steel to battle stone,,,

I'm like Doorsch...too many to count really, and too many to name let alone take pictures of. I have about 200-250...Barber Hones, Synthetics, and Naturals. Mostly barber hones...lots of duplicates ( for instance I have 18 Frictionite '00's...used to have 20 but I gave 2 to Zak. )

It's easier for me to list the ones I don't have. I think I have really BHAD..."BAD HONE ACQUISITION DISORDER"!
