Thread: Hone of the Day

Just got this monster 1"ish Erik Anton Berg off the bench, Naniwa 1k-12k to see how it performs.

5 synthetic hones lapped, but not the BG Escher (I never lap THAT! ) for tonight's honing treat.
2 John Heiffor Original British Razors in ivory which are unused. Should be fun!

Amazing scales Tom.

They are nice, Rez.....You should see the original boxes. They 'snap' when you close them!

Forget about the honing Tom, those razors are killer!

I don't anymore, Pete. Bought these 10 years ago or more. They have been er, languishing.

Put a blistering, Washita edge, on a pocket knife for one of the guys at work. He also works with the local fire Dept., so I figure it better have a good, strong edge. Someones life, might be saved because if it.

There is a Method...
that is to say Method hand soap. I had a rather new hone that repelled water.
I put some foam from a Method brand hand soap to wet the hone and found that
the razor felt smoother on the hone. Yes I could use lather but I was honing not shaving.
It seems to rinse clean under cool water. A dish soap like Dawn diluted nicely would
also work. Some hand soaps are full of lotion so not all are OK.
