Thread: The definitive Barber's Hone grit answer..

For me this experiment was eye opening. So much so that I recommend a careful observation of the results of any barber hone.

As a result of this thread I put my 3 traveling SRs to the barbers hone as per instructions, plus a few laps on the CrOx webbing, then about 80-100 laps on the strop (Yes, I travel with all that gear).
Popping hair everywhere and it encouraged me to go for a nice 3 pass shave this morning.
Aside from a potentially hazardous scything motion (quickly attended to by the alum block) I've got a superb shave!
I've learned enough to not shout out BBS, but I'll say it is easily one of my finest results.
I'm ready to brief that 1-Star this morning...all thanks to a $20 barbers hone and the things I've learned here at the Straight Razor Place (see the way my bragging is also somewhat blamed on you via a compliment?).
Thanks Gentlemen.
