Gifted Dubl Duck
My best buddy just gave me this Dubl Duck hone.
It looks unused. No flaws.
I'm thinking about using it but have a few questions:
1. Should it be lapped? I could send it to a buddy for that as I don't have that tool.
2. I read that the course side is around 4k. And the fine side around 10k. Is this your experience?
3. Are these good hones? Or would you keep it for historical/collectors value?
4. Any specific tips on these hones?
I now have a hone and a paddle!
Baby steps!
Thanks for your input gentlemen.

Don't lap it, Mike!

Well dang it guys, I was expecting to see jaws dropped and get PMs offering small fortunes..
Wow MikeT! You are now the coolest shaver that side of the Rockies..
With THAT stone, you only need to touch the blade to its immaculate surface and it's immediately "Sharptonn Sharp" upon contact..
No I will not trade it for your NOS Escher. Wouldn't be prudent. Not gonna do it.
Just don't even ask.
Well, I'll except some tips that are specific with these little barber hones... IF that is, it doesn't spontaneously sharpen my blade Sharptonn Sharp upon contact.

Har! I have heard they are good barber hones. Seems you use it dry.
You have the instructions, Mike. What do they say? 8-10 light strokes? Give it a try!"Don't be stubborn. You are missing out."
I rest my case.

As Tom said, read the instructions. I think standard for barber hones are 8 to 10 laps. Some would use lather, some water or just dry. Water is hard to put on imthem because it pools up and just wipes off. Ive done lather on the one i have.
