    Default Found a hone in my parents basement

    It's a double sided synthetic hone. My initial feeling was the the finer side of the hone (which was greenish until I lapped it. It turned yellow after the lapping and that was the color of the slurry. The bottom part of the hone is dark brown. My wife feels that the finer side feels similar or finer than my Norton 8k and the coarser side feels similar to my 4k norton.

    Now that it's lapped, it doesn't feel as smooth. It is now a yellowish color and doesn't feel as fine. It produces a yellow slurry. I sanded the yellow side a bit more on 2k wet/dry to bring some of the smoothness back to it. I think I'll continue to use the 2000 grit sandpaper to smooth it out a bit. I haven't touched the rough side of the hone.

    I'm going to post pics in a sec.

    Any thought? I know it'll be difficult without pics. Will this hone be useful for razors is my main question
