Thread: Case Moon stone?

Nope.

See post #2, the Case stone is ceramic. I'm assuming this stone is a sort of barber hone type thing?

A review would be good on both ceramic and natural one.

there is one on e-bay right now( not mine)
for those that might want to give it a try

From the description on the note that comes with the stone the one listed is manmade not natural.

you have as backup.

I am convinced that in the right hands almost any
hone can tidy up a razor...

Tell us what you have to work with and compare it to.

My expectation is that with oil or lather and a light touch
you should be able to get a strop ready edge as long
as you do not over do and raise a burr. Keep the
number of strokes low and sneak up on what it can do.

The problem is that most of us are used to the results
from exceptional hones and strops pasted with sub-micron
products. What might have been good enough in 1901
is not what we expect in 2010.

Me I tend to try a total unknown on a good kitchen knife
first.
