I'm ashamed to admit it, but...
...my Norton's got mold.
I wanted to work on my Special No 1 today and when I pulled out the hone it had blueish spots all over the white side.
I immediately sprayed it with bleach and then proceeded to lap it with my 1000.
It's good that I did, too, because it wasn't perfectly flat any more. Anyhow, after lapping for at least 10 minutes, the blue spots/stains have faded but are still there.
Should I continue, maybe even use the 220, until they're gone? Or is it ok for now?
Anyhow, I'm letting it soak in bleach for now.
I feel like such a filthy animal....

I found that soaking mine for a few hours in a 10% bleach solution did the trick on the mold.

I found that it only takes about a 20 minute soak before using to get it ship shape so unless your like lynn and hone all the time I don't see any reason to keep it soaking all the time but of course if you must a little bleach in the water will do the trick.

I understand why one would keep it in water all the time: "but I want to hone NOW!", but I don't have the space to keep it in.
My gf is all over my case because of the razor stuff anyway

Redwood,
I use a plastic juice container I picked up at target and keep it under the sink and out of sight. I have a wife with the same issues as your g/f.

You guys who use bleach, do you notice any effect when you later apply the razor to your face. I'm particularly interested in anyone who has very sensitive skin or a skin condition.

Not so far. But I have not had to use the hone much since I got the pasted paddle from Tony Miller.
