It consists of four sides of different sharpening properties, viz: No. 1, the Hone—which is of ten times the pow er of the ordinary Hone, and almost instant ly thins a dull edge. No. 2, a powerful sharpening property for removing the wiry, edge left by the Hone. No. 3; a less pow erful composition for gradually reducing the Razor to a fine edge. No. 4 is merely the calf skin, peculiarly prepared by the Manu facturer, and expressly adapted to the pur pose of perfecting the edge of the Razor.-- Five minutes will be ample time for put ting the dullest Razor in perfect order.
