Thread: What Exaclty Is a Barber's Hone?

Sham, it still doesn't answer my questions. I think I'll leave it!

I'll give it a shot on a Double Arrow finished on a swaty and mystery barber hone Vs. a Wapi I haven't honed in months. (Finished on a "C12k" and CrO")

JeffR: I think that's a plausible explanation similar to what I think it may be... but I think the teeth would allow the blade to cut better than a finer edge. The latter would need more maintenance to cut optimally at all times.

I have yet to experience an edge finished on a barber's hone lasting less than a couple of months.
