Opinions on this Black Arkansas hone?
Today I was lucky enough to find this auction ending on a 'Genuine Black Arkansas hone.' Also lucky enough to get it for $25.
Genuine Black Arkansas Straight Razor Hone/ Stone - eBay (item 260594976048 end time May-07-10 14:37:36 PDT)
I was looking for a hone to touch up on a couple razors that have been going dull for awhile and want an alternative way instead of paste.
The seller predicts that it is at least an 8K grit stone. I went to the honing Wiki and was told that a touch up stone would be a finely grit stone - which I found to be a little vague. I would like a barber's hone but as you can imagine, they are quite hard to come by.
Will this stone do the job? Or should I recycle it through SRP?
I appreciate the help!
