I picked up the weirdest barber hone I have ever used today. It is a Carborundum Aloxite #79. It says "dry razor hone" on the box. It had a few gouges in it so I decided to hit it on the 750 diamond plate. I got the plate wet and put the hone on there....Guess what happened? It turned into mud! Ive taken pictures. First the hone dry, and then the resulting slurry of wetting the hone and rubbing my finger across it lightly 10 times. It easily scratches with your fingernail yet it puts the best edge from any barber hone I have used.
Does anyone know of this hone? A google search tells of carborundrum razor hones, but not one like this. It feels like a dry peice of clay.
