Thread: Droescher's Blue Beard Razor Hone

Does anyone know anything about this SRD barber hone--performance, quality, grit rating, etc?

I have the same one on the way, and I was wondering what to expect.

The dimensions are 5.75 x 2.5. (I'm not sure about the material.)

Thanx,
Christopher

I'm a newbie with hones. What do I know? I'd be better off sending it to you for a review. LOL =)

I just purchased a Blue Beard Razor Hone, or at least I will have to assume that it is, (mine does not have "SRD" engraved in it).

This is my first hone and I was wondering what you thought about yours, and if you have any tips on what works best for it, again, assuming that I have the original hone.

That is what is known as a barber hone and they were used to touch up a sharp razor that was beginning to fall off a little. I play around with various barber hones that I have by just seeing if I can get a razor that I'm shaving with a bit keener than it was the last time around. You have to experiment with it and see how it works for you. BTW, I use mine dry usually but some guys use water of lather on theirs.

It says I can use Oil, Water, Soap, or Dry. I purchased a cheap no name razor to practice with it, until I get my technique down. I'll be using it dry then with water, when I start playing around with soap then oil how do go about cleaning it to switch form one to the other.
