Hone prices haven't changed that much relatively. Bear in mind, a razor cost about $1.50 or $2 for a fancy one.

It's interesting to note that even in 1888 they had no wedge razors, and nothing larger than 7/8.

The workshop is especially fascinating! This was dedicated to regrinding razors and scissors. On the left, seated at something similar to a Sheffield-style horsing, are the men grinding scissors. On the right, working German-style (IE, standing) are the men grinding razors. Also take note of the pegboard with different sized stones.
