alright here's my dilema. i have an old hone from an old barber (my finace's grandfather) and its a combo hone, one side being the color of bluestone and the other being a nice yellowy ivory color. its really fine, i just sanded it flat with 220 paper on a precision ground granite surface plate. but i can't tell the difference between the grit on the two sides. is there a way to do this? i would like to know if its useable and which side is coarser. might be of use to me. if not then i guess its gonna just sit in a drawer when i get the norton stone. thanks a lot for your help:thinking:
