First Hone
Just picked up my first razor hone off Ebay. Haven’t received it yet and don't know anything about it. Here is a link to the Pics. Any information about this company and if this is a good hone or not would be appreciated. Got it for $18.95 including shipping.

Looks good. If I'm reading this correct, it's a three line swaty.

Do not feel obliged to do anything other
than wipe it with lather and touch up a shaver
with five strokes then back to the strop.
Barber hones take a light touch and a minimum of
strokes.... Do not lap it or sand it unless you absolutely
have to.
The famous fine shaves from these are obtained after
it loads up and gets a shine to it.
Less is more...

It's an American copy of the real Swaty. I'm sure it will work fine though.
