Thread: Difference in Carborundum Hones

Ok, so I'm hoping someone, possibly the original poster will see this. Chances are this is a dead thread. BUT, i need help. I have a Carborundum razor hone with the number 201. Its a 2 sided hone, one gray and another creamy gray i guess you could call it. Anyways im new to straight razor shaving, I've used it twice but my barber said it might need a bit of a hone. I got this from my grandfathers after he passed and I can tell its old after reading most of these thread posts. I'll post some pics but, I hope someone sees this.

My question is that my barber said its already pretty sharp it just may need to be honed a bit. that being said i dont know if its a good hone fo rthat sort of job.

The gray seems smoother than the white but its kind of hard to tell.
