Thread: Any info on ZeepK barber Hones

Has anyone used, know anything about, or had any experience with the ZeepK barber hones.

Although I'm still in the research process, I'm only interested in touching up my razor. would this stone do the trick, or is it junk?

Thanks

It is better to avoid anything Zeepk...There are plenty of old hones out there you can pick up for a lil bit of nothing on ebay...But, take it from a guy who learned the hard way..After years of using hones, I switched to some stones and now I take a fraction of the time. It is worth the investment, and you don't need to spend a mint to get have a couple to get you going. I just use the cheaper "King" stones and my razors are good to go (for me anyway).

I have not used a Zeepk hone, but I understand that anything branded with the Zeepk name only good for use as either a paper weight or a letter opener.

I don't know, I got a Zeepk razor from a friend and I couldn't open two envelopes with it.

Yeah I've heard terrible things about their razor, but I wasn't sure if the hones where any good. Can you suggest any good websites to look for hones, or king hones cause ebay hasn't turned up anything but the zeepk's products

Avoid Zeepk full stop.
