Thread: Is it an "Ezy edge" hone question

Hi,
I consider getting a barber hone to be able to compare natural oilstone's grit I find to something known. I have seen a red two sided barber hone which I think could be an Ezy edge. Will there be a particular stamp on the Ezy edge hone?(or any vintage barber hone)



Thanks.

i have one of these i never tryed it out .

I have a Pike Eazyedge but it is very clearly stamped. Like this...

Ok here is the listing:
Razor Hone Spornette Shaper Ever Ready Shaving Brush - eBay (item 300461523208 end time Sep-05-10 22:30:40 PDT)

Can I date it? A barber hone possibly with no stamp.

same as mine

The makers of barber hones frequently made hones for others who would assign a name to the hone but not have it impressed ( stamped) with any name. The makers used a wide variety of different abrasives so it is impossible to determine the grit size or type of an unlabeled barber hone.

It seems it will be a trial and error process

Can you try it for me? I can send you a razor in need of honing if you want.

Well, that is how it is with all natural hones as well. Just have to love the trials and the errors.
