    Thank you, no worries with the evaluation, it was just something I was doing on the side for him. I was able to find out enough to tell him what he wanted to know which was if it was a really valuable item, or if he should put it into rotation for use. It is very neat, and now in rotation

    I have bought some witch hazel, and I think you are spot on. I always thought I must just have really sensitive skin, but as I try more and different things I am coming to the conclusion that it is mostly in what you are using and how you are using it. I did a bunch more reading on different ideals and personal opinions on after care and I think the Witch Hazel will be great. Only time will tell though.

    If you show where in Oregon you are fellow straight razor shavers might contact you. Any and all interaction with a variety of shavers only broadens your understanding of the field since no two of us are alike in our view points and methods. I just might be down the road from you. I am in Forest Grove and available almost, literally, all the time. One of the perks of retirement.

    I basically hone just for myself. Haven't done enough of them to be at a level to offer the service. But if you just need a touch up I can show you how to do that. If your razor(s) need a more complete job than cudarunner is the closest. He has honed many razors for me before I started doing my own, and does an excellent job and is reasonably priced.

    There is another who's closer and he's an excellent honer however he's usually busy these days but perhaps he might be interested.

    Roy is referring to pinklather. He is in Scapoose. He was my Mentor and is an excellent honer as well. PM him and see if he can fit you in.

    Hey evallded, I bet I'm only a couple of miles from you (Park view blvd & 174th). After 9 years of DE shaving, I finally took the next logical step: a straight. It'll arrive soon. Next, I'll aspire to shave with a sharp piece of flint.
    Happy shaving!

    Interesting bit: an outfit once made surgical scalpels from small bits of knapped obsidian. Cuts from these blades tended to heal significantly faster than cuts made with a conventional steel scalpel. It was a sharper, smoother edge than one made by abrasion on a steel instrument and thus caused less tearing of the tissue. Cleaner cut = faster healing with less scar tissue.
