These may be fine I just didn;t want you to think all are created alike.

Is there a website for this tilly person/company? I'm new to straight razor and would like to see about purchasing a cheap finishing/barbers double sided hone. This site is great I've learned quite a bit

I don't think Tilly is active anymore. Maybe try For Sale - Gem Star Customs

Wow, back from the dead! Tilly was selling NOS barber hones a while back for low prices. I missed the boat on that back then. I don't regret it.....too much.
