One and one hone only pleeeeaaase.
I know this question has been asked and asked and it seems to always lead to complex answers but I gotta try this anyway.Forgive me O lord. So....I want a hone,.....to ONLY keep an edge until such time as I need a honemaster . I don't want paddles,pastes,or strops or hard to find vintage hones etc. I don't know anything about microns or diamond dust nor at this time do I want to know. All I want for christmas besides m'two front teeth is a ONE SIDED hone that Is not too big and not too small and to use it only fo maintaining an edge. I don't wan't sandpaper and I don't want to know about bevels or anything like that. Just a one sided hone.I don't want to use hard to figure out oils or even lather,....just a little water Like I have seen Lynn use on the barber hones of old in videos and a few strokes to keep the blade going.What would be a good MODERN easy to find one sided and AFFORDABLE hone no glass or wierd materials,no goo or magic.....just a nice humble simple hone and not a cheapo thing from a quarry from nowhere or made from a hodgepodge of strange ingredients baked in someones oven that's gonna be bad to my nice little ol blade? I just know I'm asking for it but I must try,....I must try. This is gonna hurt I just know it..... I want my MOMMY!!! :confused:Lynn, if you're out there maybe you could help on this as well???
