Thread: Newbie needing a history lesson about a razor

Ok will do.

Thanks for the info guys. She still has the wet stone too, It says Bay state on it across the top.

Do you have a picture of the stone?

Here it is:

id keep it and use it no sense selling family heirlooms thats why i hate that pawn stars show younger kids selling what they think is junk cause it wasnt cash or land left to them by their elders

The Bay State hone is a new one on me but typical in size, shape and style to what we call a 'barber hone.' They are usually very effective, in practiced hands, at maintaining a shaving edge on a sharp razor. If that was my grandfather's, and I wasn't proficient at honing, I would send it to Lynn Abrams or one of the other honemeisters in the SRP classifieds here.
