I purchased the Euro 58.90 stone. It comes in a white cardboard box with a rubbing stone. The smaller stones will in my opinion do just as good a job.
I also bought one of the big 10"x3" stones (Second ones listed on the internet page). This stone is also really good. Don't be fooled by the price. This stone will hone as well as a yellow coticule. Having said this, I now feel spoilt with the smaller stone. The cheaper stone is grey black and after a quick clean up on a piece of wet and dry sandpaper (wet), this hone looks like a piece of glass. It feels like the more expensive hone in operation but its grit size is probably more like 8000 to 10000 rather than the 12000+ of the smaller hone. The cheaper hone comes as pictured in a wooden box.Last edited by English; 07-15-2008 at 07:37 PM.

Thanked: 1There is a Tormek sharpening system on the site available with various jigs to hold blades in place. Has anyone used this to sharpen or hone a straight razor?

Thanked: 335Jerry,
I think the Tormek system is intended for sharpening chisels, plane irons, and the like. This makes it too aggressive for as delicate as a razor.

I know Gary Richter and have done business with him and he's a knowledgeable fellow. Of course, if you'd rather support a fellow SRPer, call or email me.
