Thread: Barber hones characteristics

I see also that in addition to Dubl Duck and Reliance, the same combination hone also was marketed as O.V.B. (p. 7 of this thread).

Sorry I'm so obsessive about this, but I am very interested in the different brandings of the same basic product, and whether there were actually differences in quality, i.e. tolerances and maybe one company got a "better" product while another got a cheaper one.

Tonight or tomorrow...I have a barber hone that looks like a Swaty but is labeled "SRD" "Straight Razor Designs?"

Except that it's really old. I'd love to hear all the historians of hones talk about that one.

I love this kind of thread, thanks for all the knowledge and pictures!
