Thread: Best finishing hone

The Ark surgical black I just got intrigues me but for speed and performance the Suehiro 20k, chromium oxide or Escher seems to work on most razors.

Ahhhhhhhh What a great idea,,, Now not to sound like a smartalec but some of us tried that on the open forum and the threads were flooded by the Fanboys of the various hones, that firmly believe that their one hone, is the end all be all of all hones...

LOL yeah just like that
Gotcha John



So after dozens of threads many of us finally just gave it up,


Keeping in mind that a certain finisher on a certain razor will get you to let's call it 99% of the best that edge will ever be, it is that last 1% that we all seem to argue about and spend Soooooooooooooooooooooooooo much of our money on...

Anyway,,, that is my story and I am sticking to it
