Resources Forum

Do you think it would be a good idea to have a forum where all the links to various resouces could be posted?

I ask because I read a thread about buying hones the other day, with links to shops in Europe. Now I can't find the thread again:o

Just a thought:)

Hrmmm, I suppose that's what Vendor's Corner is for, but, I don't often see many new posts in it.

I was thinking more of a repository for any good links that members find. It would keep them all in one place, at least.

It might be that someone has found a good place to buy something, or has a recommendation for some online shop.:shrug:

Something like the 'Links' page on the main menu? Or are you looking for something else?

Along this line of thinking, I was reading another forum (forgive me) and it was suggested to start a thread so people could post local barbers, supply stores, etc. in various cities. This was so anyone traveling and in need of a barber or shaving supplies could check the list for the city the would be/are in.

I didn't think that was a bad idea.

I have recently done quite some research into buying hones.
Let me know what you need and I may be able to get you the link.

A good hone - either Norton or Thuringer or Coticule plus a Nagura stone or similar:)

I have a set of Japanese waterstones, but I'm not 100% on the quality.

Frank,

I have never seen Nortons advertised in Europe, I think it is an American thing.

I got my coticule from: http://www.ardennes-coticule.com/index2.htm. That's the quarry, mr Maurice Celis will answer your questions, ask for kosher (=Jewish)quality coticule. Those are the best (used for ritual Jewish slaughter).

Thuringers you can get from Tony Miller. He gets them from Germany. As you live in Europe you may be getting them cheaper from Germany. I got mine from: http://www.manufactum.de/track_flash...Pr.5112.0.html.

The Thuringer comes with a slurry stone, mr Celis will give you one if you ask. he call them "Cotigura".

The Thuringer is as good as the coticule but cheaper. The Thuringer is a bit slower cutting though but VFM wise I think it is the better one. The coticule I prefer for my Friodur which is harder to hone.

Good luck with it! If you need hepl with German translations let me know.

RE: Resources Forum

Frank, I see Rutlands in the UK sell Nortons although I've never bought anything from them so can't comment from personal experience.

Thanks Stot.

I have used them in the past, and they were ok, if a little pricey :)
