I just got a pair of Cushion Strop Hones from Tilly an was curious about there original use.
I assume most would use a barber hone wet, ie either soaked in water or with lather. So, what happens to the leather side while the stone is wet??

Do any of you use the stones dry? The instructions that came with it mention using it wet so they must mean just wetting down the top and not soaking as many would do.

Any thoughts on this? I was thinking of doing a few up with my finish leather and wanted to see what others thought.
