Thread: Barber hone coaching wanted

I believe the one razor for the tests gives a level bench mark for the tests. Also I feel that if everyone who takes part does the test using the same format, a common consensuses will be gained for each hone. If everyone uses a different razor, no problem. We can't all have the same razor can we We will get a general appreciation for how the hone works for differing razors as a bunus though.

Well thought

Correct me if you think I'm off track here, but, wouldn't it make sense for each participant to reply to the thread/new thread with a list of hones and the razor he will be using for the trial? Then after each test hone he could edit his post with his findings. This I am sure would make the reading easier and eventual corralation of the findings easier too.

I've got a Dovo that I can't keep sharp for anything. I feel it must not like my Norton to Chinese waterstone method as all my other rotation razors get, and stay bbs sharp with that. In fact, I've given up on the Chromium bench hone treatment because the bbs feeling doesn't stay as long with each razor like just the plain old Chinese waterstone gives. Anyway, I'm going to try sharpening it (Dovo) on my NOS Edlis sometime soon. I'm up for the Guinea Pig thing. I guess what I'm saying is I only have the one barber, and all I can do is judge against the Norton-Chinese stone. Another fly in the ointment-what are guys planning on? Dry, lather, a combination of both, etc.?

I think your own post would be OK if some one would take the results, Edit a summation, and put them in the library for quick access.
