    I would NOT try to run a razor over those cracks. But as others have said, keep the biggest bit for a barbers hone, and the others for rubbing stones. Could be worse.

    I weep with you. It's hard to shake loose $125 for hone when soon that may be the price of a tank of gas!

    I don't have little ones in the house anymore, but I keep my hones in a separate plastic tool box at the back of my work bench for fear the missus' will drop them. I also keep the razors I'm working on in the same place.

    My condolences. Cracks cover almost all the surface. But at least one barber hone can be made. So, you will not be left without hone. Try to look for good in every event.

    Take the stone apart, you will have a barbers hone sized piece, and a nagura for it. You can do fine with these, or you could buy a new one if you hone a lot.

    Iīve read, that someone saved a broken japanese stone by putting a thick coat of glue/laquer/paint(???) on five of the sides. Dunno if thisīll work here, but if you have something that would work, why not give it a try? Lap it, run a cheap razor over it and maybe, you wont have to pay another 125 bucks. Since itīs broken anyway, Iīd give it a try.

    regards,

    Superstones swell and contract as they get wet and dry; Japanese naturals do not.

    Look at some of the shapes that Coticule Bouts come in. It is tempting but not necessary
    to tidy the shape.

    72$ shipped from TSS. That is almost half what you paid locally, and you will never wear out a 1cm thick 12k naniwa
