Any Help In Miami

can any honemeister or anyone with any type of experience with getting razors sharp and live in the south florida area or puerto rico help me in person in getting my razor sharp

if so pm me please

Razor,
If you don't find anyone in the area, there are plenty of guys that you can mail your razor to for honing. Also, it may be best to hone it yourself. That's what I have done. It's a learning experience - for sure - (I dulled the hell out of mine before learning what to do but now I have sharp razors and a new found confidence that I can do it myself) and the forum guys will guide you along the way.

thanks man i apppreciate the advice

but i am trying and trying AND trying and nothing

i already pmed AFDavis and waiting to see what he says

if i have to pay anyone i would want to pay Mr. Abrams since i have had the pleasure of using one of his pre-honed razors before


but i would like to actually have someone in person show how to do things right

anyhow thanks

I'm in Orlando.

My wife has been bugging me to go see Miami. Anything worth seeing there?

I'll have diamond paste in a few days and am going to make some bench hones.
I have found pastes to be indispensable in getting a razor REALLY sharp.

Let me talk to the wife about taking a ride down your way.

You could come here but then I would be under pressure and since I can't even pee under pressure I wouldn't expect it to help my honing either.:shrug:

As someone said, experience is the best teacher and driving 3 hours to look at what I'm doing and say
"That's exactly what I'm doing !?"
and having me reply " Well OBVIOUSLY not !"
may be a bit anticlimactic.

** EDIT**
I saw in another post now that you have a norton and diamond paste.
I haven't used a Norton but I'm guessing there's nothing to it but to do it.(is my confidence frustrating or what?)
I'll be getting a bunch of Wapi razors this week and if you want something junky to beat up I have lots. I'll dig and see what I can find.
Are you married or know someone the wife can hang out with while we are on the razor thing?
De donde eres?

thanks gratewhitehuntr for the offer
i will probably take you and AFDavis on your offers

i will be going to norfolk after house hunting in PR so on my way to VA i can stop by in orlando

how long do you think it would take to explain things?? 1-3 hours??

i will def keep in touch

1-3 hours should be fine.

We need to
1 make sure your stone is flat
2 Give me 10 mins to get the hang of the Norton
3 see what is going on with your technique
4 correct the problem
5 drink some margaritas

Just keep in mind, I only come out at night.
