What'd ya hone today?
I'm real happy spring is in the air. I can finally got out to my unheated shop and do some work. Been playing with the buffers and making scales but today I honed up what I finished. What did you all hone up recently?
1) Electric 4/8's for CarrieM - Buffed and honed
2) Wade and Butcher 7/8's - Out of the scales, Greaseless and buffers, had to rework the pivot end of the scales and buffed, honed and shave tested. Got my ear lobe with the tip
3) Genco Gold Seal - Buffed and honed
4) Genco Easy Aces - Buffed and honed. I didn't know if the pitting would clear the bevel but the price was right and the bevel is clean
5) Maher and Grosh Anchor Brand - Buffed and honed. THis one was black with surface oxidation.
6) Puma Inox - TUned the edge for the third time. This time it is there. I don't usually have an issue with Inox but this ine didn't want to smooth out.
Hones used:
Naniwa Chosera 600 (at times) and 2k
Naniwa 5k and 8k
Coticule
Escher
The W&B shaves silky smooth with a BBS finish. CarrieM tested it on her legs and was very focused during the test. I had her shave the back of my neck with it.She didn't want to use that one but I talked her into it.
Tell us what you honed up today. Pics are nice but optional. I'd love to see one of Lynn's stacks at the end of a day.“If you always do what you always did, you will always get what you always got.” (A. Einstein)
