Thread: The Elusive Barber's Hone

The barber hones have the advantage of being small,quick and convenient. The high grit Shapton Glass and the Naniwa hones are first rate. The CH12K is a proven natural stone but it is a slow cutter and not suitable, IMHO, as a quick touch up hone.

Now you have the tough work, ....make a decision!

I might add that the CH12K is a nice choice for those folk
like me that like to touch up a razor once a week. Because
it cuts slow you can pull it out once a week and give the
razor ten strokes rinse, strop and put it up for tomorrow.
Normally once a week is too often but a slow hone can adjust
the rules.

I like my Naniwa 12K SuperStone.... a lot, if you have
room in the budget consider it.

Consider a two sided barber hone. Two grits for the price of one.
