Got a pair of barber hones in today and decided to play with them. Got them lapped flat and polished up, then dulled my Dovo on my 4k so I could bring the edge back and test the barber hones on a fresh set.



The orange hone on the right appeared to be 2 sided since the lower half is a green material. For the life of me, I could not see a difference in the edge under 60x magnification. I switched over to the Swaty to play with it, and finish honing for the day (back side is the one I lapped and cleaned up). I feel like the barber hones did their part because that blade was singing through the hair on my arm, but I botched it in the stropping phase because the shave was awful. Have to try again when my face is burning less.
