Hiya,
Saw this recently and well, I bought the goofy thing. Nope, I don't use a straight and have no plans to start.......sheesh.
So anyway, this seems to be some kind of Gem hone with a twist. The 'official' name on the box is Gem Cushioned Hone-Strop. One side's some kinda stone, and the other's what's called 'shell horse hide'. The instructions say that part's cushioned by some soft wool felt, which is the red area on the hone.
Looks to probably be unused and will almost certainly stay that way.........heh. Any thoughts on if this thing is actually a decent shaving item, or just a gimmick of some kind would be helpful. Hell, it really doesn't much matter actually.......I mainly just wanted to post some pics of a weird set up that I could find no info about.
Hope you find the pics amusing,
Martin
