Thread: How many classic barber hones do you have?

Would be interesting,...the Oxford dictionary should suffice. ink:

Clicked on 1 hone by mistake!

I have two, a paddle Boker hone / strop combo (really only for travel IMO, nice but small), and a still in the box, never used 3 line Swaty.

I have two. I only do refreshing of my razors. I have a three line Swaty and a C-MON barbers hone only because I have two C-MONs that are special to me and they deserve their own hone. I use lather on both of them (found a good use for Williams).

I haven't used mine much. I have an SRD I played around with some and a LEE that was degraded and lost it's surface so I haven't touched it with a razor. Then I have a brand new Dubl Duck that won't see a razor as long as I own it. Although I have been tempted.

I have around ten unless double count as two

Three line Swaty, A BBB, and another I forget the name of, it's longer than the others and has leather glued to felt on the back of it. Another one I have is Red -ish color about the size of a bar of soap and very very light, Ruby something? I don't use any of them, probably should...

A three line swaty, two other swatys and a 12k Droescher. I use the Droescher as my finisher.

I got curious because of this thread being brought back from the dead. I actually have 13 not counting multiples. It's kind of embarrassing actually as i haven't used very many of them. I use to use my frictionite, my panama, and my zenith as finishers. Then I got a new acquisition disorder. There a quite a few high grit barbers hones out there and some that don't test that well.

[mods, this thread/poll might should be in Hones. I didnt notice the cross-cat when i revived this one.]

The poll is up to 19 votes now. We can do better eh?

I'm up to three now, but i'm not sure what the third one is. One of my new ones is a "perforated" brand. "It's in the holes."

I'd like one for travel, but at home i doubt I'll do much more than experiment and look at them.

"Zanol" is my first one. Found another one locally, but it was 3x what i paid for zanol. Can't roll that way.
