Thread: Hone of the Day

Hone of the day, using a sandstone owned by my great-grandfather, who worked as carpenter (among several jobs he performed during his life).

Interesting! Where does that sandstone fit into your progression? What do you use it for?

It looks like a lot the "Pyrénées" stone, it would be a beginner, but it's not really a fast one.

Modest block of Yaginoshima Asagi sitting discreetly below a swarf pelted piece of koma and last weeks classifieds acquisition. A Colonial razor scaled in bone proudly bearing the deep inscription "None Better". None better...

Used this little coticule with clear water to finish this Hargreaves, Smith & Co. Also used the paddle strop between hones in the progression and again after the coti. I like to use this hone hand held, seated with the back of my hand resting on my knee. This little hone gives a great finish, looking forward to the shave tomorrow.

Good looking edge on the Hargreave's. The stone is a beauty too. I call this a striped thuringian however quarry location is unknown. It behaves like the French or German type natural stone. When paired with a light green thuri slurry stone from Peter (hatzicho), it produces a very fine edge. One of my finest natural finishers.

Touched up a personal razor the "Vasili Thalis" Black Diamond. A different grind and steel compared to a Grah Plumacher Black Diamond by a long shot. Enjoy and have a great week!

My new razor Magnum Bonum W&B
Started seting the bevel on 1K and finished it on White cratan. Than went to a Kitta with nagura progresion, finished on water. This is my second razor that i managed to hone by my self and it went great.
Cant wait to shave tomorow
