Hones.... finding one not easy in OZ!
Dear members,
I am searching abrasive companies, wood working stores and the like for a supplier of 'affordable' hones to sort out my new FROMM razor...
Not an easy task. It seems no one here can source the Norton 4000/8000 stone... I can order it over the net, however the Aussie dollar being as it is, means the stone costs around $140 + AUS to order.
Are there any cheaper alternatives that won't wreck my razor? Perhaps I should bite the bullet.... and get one over the net...
Yes, yes I know.. cheapness gets you exactly that... but perhaps I have overlooked some options to the Norton? Does anyone know of any?
I have made the expensive purchases of a new razor and strop (sure it will save me money)... so I have gone past the point of no return and need to get this to work.. :D
There are some local manufacturers that 'may' be able to sell me some of their waterstones, maybe a 4000 stone and a 8000 stone rather than the u-beauti combo from Norton...
Thoughts...
