    Talk about a duck out of water.

    often times it was used by holding it in the palm of your hand and then doing a few strokes holding the razor with the other hand.

    Nice barber hone! I'm sure a little shaving lather wouldn't hurt it, but if it says dry; I wouldn't dunk it and let it soak. Looks in great shape w/ the I guess maybe brass plate identifying the two sides?

    Mastering implies there is nothing more for you to learn of something... I prefer proficient enough to not totally screw it up.

    The original instruction sheets have said, "The dubl duck dry hone may be used dry, or with lather, oil, or water."

    I don't soak mine. The only oil I have used is Ballistol (emulsifies with water and is easy to clean off). I prefer water, YMMV. Some of my razors seem to give a slightly better edge with light lather.

    the coarse side of the dubl duck dry hone seems very fast, and faster with water as it seems to auto slurry with water instead of glaze... it seems to be a mix of grits, from maybe sub 1k, to 4k.. closer to 1k.. anyone care to comment?

    I picture would help but from what I am reading it sounds like the hone is breaking down, although rare it can happen with bad storage, I have only seen it a couple of times with handling 100's of Barber hones...

    A close up pic of the surface would really help here
