Barber hones revisited...
I have a redish (brick-colored) barber hone that I'd like to find a use for. It would be great for travel.
After searching the archives for more than an hour, I can't find much info about the red hones. It sounds like they are considered "medium" hones, and that there wasn't much difference between the various brands, so I'm hoping someone else with a red hone can give me some pointers.
How does the edge compare to the edge off the 8K side of the Norton? Would this hone be fine enough for touchups if I needed something to take with me on a trip?
Thanks,
Josh
