Hi all,

Thanks to Maxi for sending me Micro Mesh. Now I'm well on my way to start restoring.

But I have a few questions about hones. My grandfather has a Arkinsol 8k hone. Does anyone know anything about them?

Secondly, my father has been shaving with his kropp for quite some time now, and he said that you have to keep the ridge of the razor flat on the stone to get the right angle when honing it. How much truth is in that, and wont it scratch your ridge like mad?

Thirdly, where is the best place to buy hones, and which brands should I look out for? (I live in SA, so the best hones we get here are chisle hones of about 200 grit).

I'm sorry if I'm repeating questions that have been posted before, I did search for a relevant topic, but couldnt exactly find it.
