Thread: Veritas Stone Pond

Greetings, gentlemen,

I am writing to you as the proud new owner of Joe Chandler's complete honing setup. Arguably, if God had intended for life forms like me to meddle in the affairs of straight shavers, he would not have invented disposable cartridge razors.

Any road, I went to visit my dealer to flaunt my new kit. He had never seen a stone pond before. Needless to say, neither had I. The vendor's website is everything but helpful.

Now then. Has anyone here ever used one of these things? My dealer suspects that if you keep two stones with different grits in the same pond, honing residue will wash off, and settle down on the other stone. If so, what can I do to avoid this?

N.B. The video below was generally very helpful, but did not address this particular issue.

Thank you!
