    Default Hone Question

    I would like to purchase a hone for only touching up shave ready razors. What kind of hone should I be looking for and more importantly where do I look?

    I think a nice barber hone is perfect for this

    A pasted stop in addition to this would help you maintain sharp razors for awhile.



    where to buy..Well there is the classifieds here and ebay.

    If you do not see one posted that you like in the classifieds, i would post a WTB and see if one of the friendly members with stockpile of barber hones will be willing to part with one.

    +1 on what Ben says and if you get it out of the classifieds you're more likely to get one that has been lapped. That is a good thing.
    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    I got a nice 3 line swaty from a member that was lapped and ready to go, and a pasted balsa strop from the same gentleman. I'm good to go!
