Thread: hone sources

Could anyone let me know the most reasonable source for a 4K/8K norton and a yellow belgian coticle? Thanks, Scott

Hi Scott,

I think the best place for your Norton 4000/8000 is at Vintage Blades.

And I have just bought my own natural coticule from Howard at The Perfect Edge, but don't forget to ask for a slurry stone to go with the coticule, because I did not ask and therefore did not get one. Also if it is a natural that you want you will have to email Howard as he does not advertise them on the web site.

Cheers

John

For Norton's you're looking at Classic Shaving or Lee Valley in Canada. Not all that cheap, but quality and service are included.

+2 for Jim at Vintage Blades LLC, his shipping prices are reasonable as well, I hope to order mine very soon from Jim as well.

If you froogle.google.com a norton 4k/8k, you'll see them in the low $60 range. I sell 'em for $55. Ebay may get you a cheaper belgian than what I can sell you but you're on your own there! They may be cracked, dished, chipped. I stand behind everything that comes from theperfectedge.com

I went ahead and ordered mine from Jim at Vintage Blades:
http://www.vintagebladesllc.com/vsho...me.php?cat=115

he has the best prices when you consider shipping cost as well.

I bought the 220/1000 and a 4000/8000 Stone set from him, can't wait for it to get here..

Vintage Blades has Excellent customer service and 2-3 day Priority shipping offered on everything they sell.

I will be contacting Howard regarding a Coticule in the near future.

After I get my Thuringen Stone from Tony.

Many thanks to the Great Vendors of SRP

Thanks Howard, that awesome!!

Do all of your Coticules come with a slurry / flattening stone?

Thanks,
