    Default Good write up comparing hones

    Choosing & Using a Straight Razor - pt3, Hones my work but found it a very informative and subjective article with pics about a lot of razor hones. Keep seeing people like me asking for opinions on whats the "best" setup and this provides a lot of food fo thought. If the author is on here then i commend your work.

    Best setups are whatever works for the individual and what they are looking for. Different hones produce different edges and I guess you have no way of knowing until you have tried them all.

    Sounds like the answer from a true sufferer of HAD trying to justify a cupboard full of trial & error
    LOL

    I have to say that is one of the better write ups I have seen on the different types of hones and their properties. Neil Miller has a good reputation on the different forums and is known for excellent strops.

    BTW: Thanks for finding another shaving forum. I think I may have some sort of AD when it comes to sources of information (forums, PDFs, books, ect.).
    The older I get the more I realize how little I actually know.

    Good find. A different sort of hone article, done from Neil Miller's perspective. The man is quite astute and experienced.
    An excellent read for everyone!!!
