Just picked this one up, could any one tell me anything about it seems to be a mysterious little hone.
i have couple similar ones. theyare very fine. i never had chance to test them but will do so tomorrow.
I also have one and also have not used mine yet. But...Robert Williams ( Papabull) has used them and likes them.
Note that on the box it says distributed by Peter J. Michaels. well, they did not sell any junk, all their products that I have seen have been top notch.
BTW, I almost outbid you on that hone!:D They rarely come up for sale.
I have one but it is rectangular. I also bought mine under PapaBull's suggestion. Cant say that I have had much luck with it but haven't gone all out in testing it either
I've got an oval one and a rectangular one with rounded edges. They are both very fine barber hones. They work well for touch ups and produce a fine edge. They are quite soft and extremely light-weight (low density). They are different from most barber hones in that they don't feel anything like a stone. They really feel more like you're honing a piece of plastic, but somehow it works.
They're a great touchup and final finishing hone, in my opinion. But don't drop it because it will break every time. It's at it's best for enhancing the edge on a razor that's already well honed.
Thanks for the great info.
i just tried lap that stone. darn harder then carborundum. seems like peace of wood but cannot lap it.
