Thread: Hello to all. Another newbie to the world of Straights

Thanks for the warm welcome

I just have one thing to say about the "send to honemeister" tip...

I mean no disrespect, or do not intend to offend anybody here, but sending it away to a Meister of the crafst will most likely take a couple of weeks, and therfor i will probably have to learn this the hard way.

As i pointed out earlier, i come from Norway and i fear the ammount of hone meisters in my general area is waaaaay low.

Don't get me wrong, i appreciate the advice and not least of all the gravity of the situation.
I have been out today and gotten a 4000 and a 6000 hone so i can at least give it a shot.

However i would be very interested if someone in close proximity of Norway has a "shave ready" for sale, and will be able to ship it on the double.

Again thanx for the warm welcome, and i seriously hope that i have not stepped on any toes so far.

As for my fear of the time it will take getting it honed by Lynn it is not fear of him beeing slow or in any way sloppy with his work, but rather a well based distrust in postal/parcel/transporting companys around the world.

bjorn: i found a tool shop in stavanger(where i live, wich had 1000, 4000, and 6000 stones. they provide tools for wood carving and is so far the only ones i've found with the hones at hand)

Verktøy AS i suppose, I got a DMT1200 from them nice shop!

Welcome. Don't spend what you don't have! Buck the trend

Chances are you won't find one in Norway, but depending on how it's shipped, even if it comes from the States, it can get there fairly quickly.

A little update here..

I have just picked up my equipment and I have a little questiuon..
The Rindleder Sollingen strop has a white backside, wich according to DOVO homepage consists of "hanf"(probably german for something) i dont know what this means but i assume that this is the course side of the strop, to be used before the leather side???

apart from that, it looks really good and i am looking forward to trying this.
