Hone 22 ?

[Ferry-shave]

If you take a look at the Hone website, https://www.hone-shaving.com/ there is a teaser, which suggests that a Hone 22 will be comming soon.

No more clues from the website. I was wondering if Hone are about to launch a stainless steel version of their DE razor?

There is a massive clue, 22 on the periodic table is Titanium ( Ti )
Oh I do hope so......

So do I. A stainless version would, I guess, be even heavier than the brass; which, to my mind, is at the upper end of weight/practicality scale. It would probably make a good tack hammer.

The diagram is that for Ti.

Very interesting.....

Yes

My predictions:
Name: Hone 15t
Weight: 86 grams
(I'd prefer a Bakelite version @ 26g and at a tenth of the price of whatever the Hone 15t will cost)

Other way round, brass is heavier than stainless.

Excellent spot - Ti sounds very good!

I predict that Andrew will stick with the number being the year of the design. Hone 15t.
And I don't care if I'm wrong.

You are probably right, Hone 22 sounds wrong anyway!

Indeed, but not by much. My calculations back when the Hone 15 came out gave 147g for a stainless Hone, compared to 164g for the brass, so there would be not much of a difference.
Titanium would be a good choice as it is markedly heavier than aluminium and much lighter than brass.
The questions is: how much will it cost? I fear it will be upwards of £200. I have no inside knowledge though and will happily be proven wrong.

I think you can guarantee its going to be well in excess of £200 for a full Ti 15.

Wow that is intelligent did you learn that or did you read they were releasing a Titanium version

It was the symbol with the 22 in the middle I recognised as the periodic symbol and number for Ti, I don't think its been released yet that they are making a Ti Hone. Just luck and a good memory. Those dots in the diagram represent the number of electrons for Ti....22

Ah I always thought 22 was an air pellet size
