Model Engineer - identify hones and any use?
Hello, I'm from Manchester uk and I'm new to here. I recently was given a Taylor's 1000 razor by my dad who got it off his grandad and we expect it to be quite old. I'd like to get it shave ready and give it a go. I'm a model engineer and I'm just curious if you guys can identify any of my stones. I have picked them up over the last 4 years and used them to sharpen lathe tools. The truth is, I've never really thought much about them, picking which ever came to hand. Now after watching countless videos on honing razors, it is clear that I need to know what is what along with their grades. So...can anyone tell me anything about any of them? I bought the German specially selected razor to practice on before touching the sentimental Taylor's 1000!!!
I look forward to your replies.
