Honing Oil

Although virtually any light, non-drying oil can be used with an oilstone, these two are particularly good. Firstly let us congratulate Liberon. Previously we recommended using their Lib Net wax cleaner as a honing oil; well, they have now brought out a 250ml size of this popular product labelled as a honing oil. It is both light and non-drying but has the added advantage of cleaning the stone as it is being used. Full marks to the team at Liberon! The other is the universally popular 3-in-1 general purpose light lubricating oil.
