I received a small barber's hone yesterday that I had purchased on ebay. It is a SR. Droescher Swaty three line hone in great condition.

I was anticipating this to be a bit larger but it shouldn't be much of a problem.

I wanted to touch up my Dovo a bit and did about 10 strokes, it will be interesting to see the difference this makes when I shave tonight as the edge was starting to "dull" a bit after nearly 4 months of regular use.

Has anyone used this barber hone before? Any recommendations as to how I can get the best results? I just used a bit of water but the instructions say I can use it dry or with water, oil, or lather.
