I have the Norton, but couldn't resist buying some Barber's hones, so I bought some from Tilly and now have the following hones (while many of you may be familiar with these, I've included descriptions for those who aren't):

Little Devil (small, fast-cutting, coarse hone used to set an edge and lap other barber's hones)

Cusion Strop (nice long 6.5" med/coarse, fast-cutting hone that can be used to set an edge or be the next step after the Little Devil)

GEM (small, slower-cutting, medium grit hone)

Amalgamite (nice long, slower-cutting fine hone)

Lithide (small, slow-cutting very fine hone for final honing, refreshing an edge, bathroom touch-ups).

Now I know that most people around here like the larger stones (Norton, Belgian, etc.).

What attracted me to the barber's hones is the fact that they can be used dry and I just think they're fun to use.

Now, after this long preamble, those of you who use Barber's hones, what are your tips to avoid developing a frown or underhoning the tip of the razor on a narrower hone?

Thanks guys - any other info on using barber's hones would be also appreciated, but I do know there's been lots posted on the board about them.
