Man those Sextoblade honing outfits are rae like hens teeth...or honest politicians. Okay, nothing is that rare but you get my drift.

Now I need one...I feel another -AD coming on.

LOL, I know what you mean. I looked for one for a while but no bueno.
Ended up thinning a normal weck down so I could use one layer of tape on it and still get @ 16 degrees for honing. It is now only good for honing those and Persona blades.
It gets mighty thin but can be done. I believe the Weck made one is steel and not aluminum so it can be thinner but have never been able to prove it

To go with my Fat Wrench

My neighbor, a retired Barber, has the Exposition razor as well. It's actually a good razor not just a commemorative souvenir. He gave it to me so I cleaned it up, honed it, shaved with it, then gave it back to him because it's a neat piece of history.

Nice grab, Paul. The Heiffor looks like it might be honey horn, under all that gunk.

Yeah I thought that too. Pictures are lousy and I won't see it for probably a month but they were pretty cheap.

Which maker is his? A bunch of other cutlers made them also; wosty, Böker, Reynolds and likely others.
