    Default "Perfect" brand razor hone

    I picked this razor hone up sometime within the last few years. It's the only paper labeled man-made that I've seen. I actually thought based on the limited pics the person who sold it gave that it was some sort of Escher stone. The original pics only showed the stone and a close up of the barbering pic in the box and didn't show the box itself or the red paper label on the actual stone.

    I'm going to PM Olivia since must of the label is in German to see if she's familiar with this hone. I posted here because out of all the barber hones I've owned (20 or so) including a Swaty with 3 lines of text, this hone meets and I would say even exceeds the performance and quality of the 3 line Swaty.

    Has anyone else ever seen a hone like this or does anyone own one and if so can you comment on your thoughts of this hone?

    With an ever increasing desire to branch out into a peripherally related hobby (small scale machining) which requires the purchase of fairly costly equipment, I'm thinning down my razor and hone collection. Since I don't use barber hones, this Perfect hone is one that's been put in the sell pile pile...

    Chris, my thoughts are that you should PM to me with info like this and only post after I get one and give you the all clear. Kidding aside .... that is a cool looking hone. If the label didn't say it was artificial I would assume by the look of it that it was a Thuringan or related.

    Ha, I'm sure you'd like to take this hone for a spin, Jimmy. It is a unique hone to be sure.

    Sham, I've tried that with Chris. Anything he's got that is any good he is leaving to his grandchildren.

    Yes, I'm contemplating selling this one much to Jimmy's surprise.

    Sham, I'll send you a PM since my intent in posting this wasn't to post a sale thread but rather was to find out if any members are familiar with this hone since we have additional and hone knowledgeable members since I purchased this hone.

    I never doubted that for a moment. Actually I bought a razor from Chris on ebay over a year ago ...... I don't remember which one but I do remember that I was pleased with all aspects of the transaction.
