Thread: Medium hone

I have just recived a big thuringer hone, 8x3 inch, wich is supposed to be a 8000-12000 grit hone.

Is super for fine polish, but i need a coarser hone to restore my Ebay blunt razors.

I have the polish hone, but it seems very slow cutter.

I have a big waterstone in the 1000 grit range

Now I'm looking for a medium hone, but I don't know what to buy

The norton combo seems the better choice, but it's very expensive in Europe.



I Can buy a Rozsuctec natural stone (4000-6000grit-size), a japanese waterstone (6000 jis gritsize) or choose a couple of tilly's barber hone, cruschion and gem.or a carborundum hone
I can even buy a belgian stone combo, but since I have alredy a very big and nice thuringer, it didn't seems a great Idea

What do you tink about?

I would go with the 6K Japanese stone if you are using it to keep a razor sharp. I would chose a 4K if you are working on Ebay razors.

Just my 2 cents,

I don't know if this is bad form, but i have a good Japanese 4k for sale in the classifieds.
