Thread: H.S.B & Co. Our Very Best

I found this hone this afternoon while out hunting for razors. It is a Hone no. 96, and the top of the box says "two distinct abrasive structures and finest texture non filling. I paid $15 for it, did I get ripped? It's a barber hone size from what I know about them, 5 1/2"x2"x1/2". Both sides of it are very smooth and flat. Any info or possibly grit would be appreciated. Thanks guys.

Here's some pics:

I've seen it go for twice that price... No idea about the grit though.

I don't think you got ripped off. I like the combination barber hones. Grit ratings for combination barber hones are coarse and fine, as far as I know. That's the facts of it. But somebody will give you some numbers of course. I'm not that somebody by the way. Nice rock!

I don't know either but I have one just like it and am curious too.
