TSC's "Velveteen Shaver"
There’s not a lot of discussion about the effectiveness of Swaty hones as finishers. I’ve been using mine very effectively in conjunction with my constroption. Once a bevel is set, the Swaty can maintain it for quite some time. I use mine in conjunation with Smith’s Honing oil. I really like the edge I get. After a shave, I do about 10-15 strokes on the Swaty, and then my 40 on the constroption (10 strokes per side). Since I‘ve been flatblading, this regimen works well at preserving my edge. Does anyone else out there use a Swaty or another Barber hone to maintain their edge? Great, if so, what works for you!
