Well, what I said was I think you guys should FIRST lacquer the underside, wait for it to completely dry, then apply the label and recoat with lacquer. That way you have the label completely sealed both sides from water damage

Just wanted to thank our enablers here, of which I am one, that I am feeling a compulsion to give one of these stornes
a personal test. So I contacted MichaelC to see how the adventure begins.

Can someone in the know comment to me...

.. a frictionte #00 on the fine side compares ___ to the zulu stone?

I am still sitting on a frictionite 825 and 821 that I'm supposed to sell for a guy, and I'm on the fence about whether or not I want to buy them from him instead of selling them. I haven't used them because they are clean and I don't want to be disrespectful.

I so appreciated the shave off of the fine side of a super punjab (so I know what a frictionite is like), but it was definitely different than a vintage jnat barber hone that I have, which is probably not a lot different from the zulu.

So, anyway, summary - shaving off of a frictionite is like ___ and zulu is like ____.
