Thread: Barber hone experiment

You have 4 nice barber hones there. Looking forward to seeing which brand BH you like best.

I'm with you here, would love to hear you input on which hone is more aggressive, smoother, and so on...

Thanks guys. In the picture from left to right is the order. Left most agressive Axolite. 3rd one is an Axolite also but much finer. The last swaty is so hard water does not even stay on the stone long enough for me to put the blade on it. I will be rehoning it again this time with lather and counting the passes.

Now you need to experiment with different slurry stones on the barber hones. You can do a nice one stone hone with a coticule slurry stone and a Swaty.

I haven't tried a c12k slurry stone yet. May have to try it soon. I've used the coti, a King, a bbw and a thuri slurry stone on my Swaty. All worked well but the coti worked especially well.

Cool. I will have to try that. I have used my naguras on my C12K with great results.
