Sorry for the delay in getting around to this. Shaved off of the barber hone this morning and wanted to share my experience.

I took a shave ready wade and butcher extra hollow ground razor that I had finished on my green thuringian. I did 10 laps or so with just water and 10 with lather (made from soap). I then did my usual stropping which is comprised of 50 laps on just leather.

The shave went well, definitely a capable hone that would be great for travel purposes. I'd put it around the 10k mark IMHO. I've shaved with many naniwa 12k edges from Ironsidegnr and felt that this razor wasn't as keep as that. It also wasn't as keen or smooth as when the razor was finished on thuringian.

All said and done, definitely a capable hone that would be easy to pack to maintain a razor while on vacation from your normal honing supplies but not something I would go to instead of the normal finishers of choice.
