What did you hone today?
- Thread starter ouch
- Start date
What stone is price worthy? And what grit do most people use?
Europe, but I will hone it my self. Know how to do, only want a legit wet stone between 50-200€
Another touch up on a Henckels 72 1/2
I’m thinking this one is a carbon razor. Not sure if they made the same model in both steels, carbon and stainless
Anyone know?
Used a Nantlle Valley stone today. What a nice feeling stone. HHT was very good.

Does it have an Inox stamp?
Looks like carbon steel.
Those photos are after it was honed by the vendor?
Did you strop it?
Any quality synthetic in the 6-12k range should refresh the bevel and edge, if you have the skills and it was properly honed, (the bevels are flat and in the correct bevel angle).
But I doubt it was properly honed from the looks of stria on the bevel and rolled edge. Looks like a factory edge that has been rolled.

It has been a while since I honed a full hollow, seems like it was over shortly after I started.
Nice shave.

Trying out this iromono. Koma then tomo touchup for this frameback. The stone's on the soft side, close to the bottom end of what I'd use for a razor, but dense and not muddy or thirsty, so makes for a nice honing experience. It is also highly abrasive. Finished with some plain water laps, after which it needed a bit of extra stropping but gave a great HHT and a nice shave.

It's slightly pink on a whitish base. Goes green pretty quickly as it breaks down but think that could be due to suspended swarf. The stone is actually heaps more pink to look at than the photo suggests (bad led lighting).
Bengall, set the bevel with a 2K Shapton Rockstar. Then on to this little vintage coticule with slurry then a set of dilutions. Came out with a beautiful edge, HHT is on point
Always love seeing that stone!
Is the cadman maked one's better? I had a bengall that was warped, as one of my first razors. End up ruining it due to bad advise from youtube, and me not knowing how to hone it at the time.
Thiers Issard continued its full jnat progression today. Got in the Meirjo and Koma. HHT without stropping is excellent, very happy so far. Next up will be tomo then maybe another tomo. Cheers

If I may ask, what is the source of these stones - are they available for purchase?
