Thread: Jgesaty Abziehstein

I recently bought a Jgesaty Abziehstein No.23. I bought it because it looked cool and from the limited information I could find out about it it sounded like a decent hone. I did try it out on my OTTO BUSCH Weltmeister and sure enough it was the best shave I have to date. Now granted I have only been using a straight razor for about 6 months. I would really like to know more about it if any body could help me I would appreciate it.

That's a pretty crazy name.

PM randydance or modine. They are both very knowledgable on the subject, because I am presuming it is a barbers hone. If it is a natural modine is still very knowledgable and so is doorch.

+1 on RezDog. Those guys are knowledgable on a lot of hones, some I've never heard of including this one. Nice score!

I traded my Jgesaty Abziehstein No.23 for a Przbolowskii Świętochłowice No 4. They are both excellent hones.
Anyway, cool score. Sometimes finding out about the history of the shave related items that come into our possession is as much fun as using them. Truthfully, all of it is fun.

So you know that you are using a synthetic hone probably of high quality.

Thank you for the information. The more I find out about this hone the more I like it.
