    It's a Necro-Poll!

    I dig matching them-up with razors I have, so collecting. They do work, but I just use my waterstones.
    I still have a short-stack compared to Lazarus!

    I did manage to wrestle-away a 'Special Spike' one from him to go with my Spike!
    Seriously, he gifted it to me. Great guy!

    Ah shucks Tom you're too kind. What goes around comes around is the short story of Tom getting that Special Spike. I almost forgot to delete that one from my spreadsheet.

    Deserved! I DID check that list and it was gone. An empty spot?
    Seriously, some are amazing if you give them a chance.
    I wish I had one back I sold.

    I hope you appreciate that the list was alphabetized to make checking easier.

    Fernsler's Ruby hone.....Frictionite 00. Swaty 3-line,
    Legendary stuff. Never held one.
    The axe-man Norton, Who knows? I have some Americans that look just like them?
    All are pricey! Must be a reason?

    I blame it on Barber-hone collectors!


    Oh! AND the Aussie Axe-Men!

    Thanks for responding. It seems like there are a few gems among the barber hones out there.

    That is great. I'm sure it was a nice surprise!
    It is funny you mention that though.
    I actually want to do one or two display cases like that eventually. Matching hone, razor, strop.

    I don't have a genuine Swaty yet, but I do have one that actually says, "Swaty Three Line!"
