I'll probably remember it in an hour or so ....... My brain is getting to be like a dial up nowadays ....... if you're old enough to know what I mean. :boohoo:
Looks like its in good shape too from the second picture, pretty much flush on both sides. very nice.
I gotta agree,,, that's one nice box !! :tu
,,,,,,,the stone is O.K. too,,,, ;)
They truly are very petty stones.
I don't personally have enough knowledge about the Charnley hones to comment on that but some one spent the time to make the custom box so they thought it was nice! And the seller didn't use another box they had laying around to put it in....Quote:

Thanks guys. I have heard a lot about them so I thought i'd try one. I'm waiting on a 1K Chosera & that's gonna be it for stones i think. If I had the money, I'd upgrade to all Chosera's instead of my regular Naniwa's.
I love the one I own. Picked it up from the UK after trying Colin's at the first GTG I attended.
Made for British steel IMO. Great finisher with oil.
Enjoy and share your results..
Congrats on the CF I use one as a finisher and love it, I also use the Chosera 1K to start, another nice stone.
I just got a Chosera 1k after watching Lynn's bevel seeing video: http://straightrazorpalace.com/honin...nn-abrams.htmlQuote:

CF has a sweet spot in my heart. They are very slow, but if you do your part they will impart a very nice finish on your razor. I like oils on my CF. Take your time and you will love the edge it can give.
Hey Steve . Wow .
That is a nice combination box and hone.
Bet you wont leave it alone.
Now with a Chosera arriving any day.
Many sharp razors should be coming your way.:beer2::beer2:
Jonathan, I just got the Chosera yesterday!Quote:
