Gokumyo as a Barber Hone
I have taken the liberty of contacting Suehiro and asking them to offer the Gokumyo 10,000 grit and 15,000 grit as a barber hone in size 4 1/2 inch by 2 inch, by 1/2 inch. A stone like this would work well on the bathroom sink whenever needed to touch-up a razor. I would buy one immediately.
If you think the idea is a good one, send letter to Suehiro . Again, I would love to have a barber hone made of this material.

Sounds like a great idea. What's the site?

I hope they do it for you, but I doubt they'll do more than offer to cut one down for you (probably at a cost). I cannot imagine their market is huge anyway, and that within it straight razor users are a very small subset, and those that want a barber hone - sized stone would be an even smaller subset still. It just wouldn't be worth the time and trouble for them to manufacture a smaller size. Perhaps I'm wrong (and I hope for you I am) but ...
I have a feeling Shooter's suggestion will probably be the best and cheapest solution.

Or you can just buy an old barbers hone on eBay :-)

If you don't stand for something you'll fall for anything.

It will not be comparable to what Jerry is talking about. Originally Posted by Brettnj

Why the first two and not the finest 0.5 micron stone? In any case, if anyone buys one and wants to split it, count me in.

I'd go for a cut-down 20k myself, but probably not the 10/15. Originally Posted by Vasilis
