hey all,
Just thought i'd share my new little hone. It is brand new in the box and was purchased off of the bay. It was owned by a John H Albright (barber) who ran a barbershop in Hanover, PA. I was not able to obtain much more info but I am guessing he had these hones made for him and had quite a few on hand. this one went to auction along with many of the other items from the shop. I scored this at such a great price and am very very happy with it. From the box to the wrapping, instructions and stone it is all Mint! I am not sure yet whether I will put it to use or keep it for my collection of shaving gear. It is very hard and soft. Most barber hones I have used tend to make me believe they are between 4k-6k. It would not surprise me at all if this was in the 8-10k range. anyways, just wanted to share this little rock with all of you :)Attachment 96716Attachment 96721Attachment 96722Attachment 96723Attachment 96717Attachment 96718Attachment 96719Attachment 96720
