Hey Trinity .. how you getting on with your new razors ? if your struggling to find a 'swaty' ( like I was ) .
Tilly does a 'Premier ' hone which is very similar - her site says so .. I bought one and it's a lovely little hone ....Well aren't they all . :-D

Thanks to all

Garry I did order a beginners set from Tilly a good few weeks ago,unf they have not arrived...think our postal service has done the usual disappearing trick....not Tillys fault she very kindly posted them urgent...even before payment ...unf again by normal post so unsigned for.

Maybe get in contact again and take up your suggestion.

Barber shops, antique stores, sharpening service companies, flea markets, knife dealers and makers, leather worker's, estate sales, antique tool dealers and sales. woodcarvers.
Just a few ideas.

Also, don't get hung up on a name. Many hones will do the same job. We only need a coarse(1500 grit), medium(4000), fine(8000) and finishing(10000-12000) hones.
