Yes, Steve, I will second your post, and thanks for steering me to Maxim (Maksim). He was most helpful and says he is sending me a stone and naguras that closely match your last purchase. From what you have said, I think I might have been better off with one like your first hone if it performs consistently. I have a Charnley Forrest that puts too keen an edge on the razor and as Ralfy experienced, it is a little crispy for daily use. I hope the super hard one you just got is not the same as the CF. Maybe, if it is, I can find a way to back it down a little. YP, Denny
So, you got 2 hones? (only 39 more and you're good to go!!
:. Boy, it's hard to let go of this joke...). You're better off with one like the first one I got, IMO. The second one is more tricky, but you can dial it in depending on how you work the slurry. I just shaved with a razor honed on the 2nd. Great! You're good in either case, but I do think one like my first would probably be better to start out. Let me know how it works out.
