Thread: Narrow hone vs Wide hone

You learn to use the hone that is in front of you, Period end of story...

Doing this professionally for a few years now, trust me when I say this "If something is easier, more cost effective or more consistent I and every other Honemeister would be using it exclusively"

I even went so far as to cut down a set of Norton's because I believed some BS hype that it was easier to hone heavy smiling wedges on thinner hones, it isn't...

Really it doesn't matter the size of the stone, all that really matter is the evenness of the honing stroke...

Go ahead don't take my word for it spend your hard earned cash on all the different sizes and go find out

BTW go ahead and try the Magic Marker test on a wide hone compared to a thin hone on any razor you want, what you are going to find is what some of us keep saying over and over "The magic is in the hands not the stone"
