Thread: Barber Hone "EDLIS SPECIAL 715"

Hello, hone "EDLIS SPECIAL 715" is good quality for maintenance of straightrazor?
Some information on this hone?

Thanks to all

Sorry, never heard of it. Can you post a pic of the hone?

I have not bought it, which I like is that this without using.
I have also found one “boss to barber” without using but economic.
With the Norton the result is shaved irritating, is a nightmare to maintain it flat and is dirty. Use arkansas and gives much better and smooth results me, although the stone is very very slow. A doubt is: if use the same technique in both stones because the results in the Norton are so bad?

Very been thankful by your help

I am not an expert but let me say this: if you are not happy with the edges from Norton 8K - we have NO WAY of knowing if you will like the edge from this unknown hone. You may love it, or you may just as well hate it You will have to try it for yourself! I would guess that it should be OK, if it's a fine barber hone - but this is just a guess

Good luck!

It is a medium fine to fine hone!
I have one in my collection, but as I said before I prefer a natural Belgian combination hone! If you want one check with Howard! you can PM him. Howard is his forum handle!

I got one a while back and I like it. I agree it's a medium, but not coarse stone. It seems about like 6000 grit. If you're finishing on a Norton 8000, maybe this hone wouldn't be a good choice. It's certainly not a polishing hone.
