I have others, but these three are special! I met a fellow in a antique store; said he had some razors. I got his number and a week or so later I called him. I stopped by and was able to let him know that his collection..yes collection..all clean as if new..beautifully displayed was worth about 10K-30K$ +. His wife was ecstatic!!!!
He showed me some hones and I told him the market value of them. He then "gave" me these three!" I have lapped them.
Some really nice folks out there!

PS. The location is sworn to secrecy!! Really!
Wow and to think I felt bad about buying a few hones the other day to get me started. You guys make me feel much better.
wow now i know why the gents with a hundred or more hones didnt post its alot of work about two hours for me to get most of them out first pic arks second pic synthetics third jnats fourth cotis fifth diamond & ceramic and sixth all stones (minus about 20 at work in my box) enjoy!
Got some more in boxes not opened from the move yet, but here are some and I am not laying these out........lol.
So much great eye candy above!!!
A few more.....
After seeing all this, I can't imagine what the basement would look like if I kept all the sets of stuff I've used like Kings, Shapton Pro's, Kityama and so many more over the years. Just played with 4 new 1K's and the first question I asked me was, OK where should you put these......lol.
Have fun,
Lynn
I've got plenty of storage space for you, Lynn. I know Don has my address on file ;-)
Lynn, what is that blue razor in the second to last picture?
wow very nice collection lynn when i put mine out on the table ,with every stone i started to wonder how much of a load can the table hold i would have craped my self if a few grand worth of stones fell on to the floor lets just say it didnt take as long to take them off as it was to put them on
I've got a few less than I used to have but here is the current herd, in the cabinet over the kitchen sink. EDIT; my Norton 1k, 4k, 8k aren't in the photo 'cause I keep them in tupperware containers in water. Attachment 69869Attachment 69870
