I think this could be assumed for most SR vendors. Consider the growth this forum alone has seen in SR enthusiasts recently and considering it is the holidays with all that extra gift buying. I'm betting that we should all be patient with our favorite vendors, I'm sure they are quite over worked right now and doing all they can to keep up with the demand.

I'm gonna wait till they go Fusion 2.5 (+0.5), then I'm in.

Well, I'm not giving up hope, I'm just trying not to build up hope :P

I would love to meet them, but if they can't swing it, I don't want to be expectign anything...

But thank you all for being so helpful! I love this site.

The door is always open!!!

I picked up Mamma at the airport last night and have not had much of a chance to get on the computer.

PM me and I'll give you my phone number and maybe I can swing a couple hours next week. I am a mile away from the Post Office. I'll be happy to work with you on honing and stropping. The store however is not at my place and if you do want to visit there, it will definitely be after the holidays, but we are always happy to have visitors and quite a few people have been there.

Happy Holidays,

Lynn

GG is what kids who don't know any better buy because it's the only commonplace vodka that is premium. There are better and cheaper ones out there.


Of course I mostly drink plastic handles run through charcoal so what do I know.

I prefer Chopin to Ketel One, myself, just something about that slightly oily feel that potato vodka has. Ketel's still damn nice though.

Forgive me this outburst, but that easily made my week so much better.

I live 10-15 minutes south of the post office, so this is the most convenient (and most wanted) learning experience I can remember. I was honestly dreading battering my pretty (and expensive) razors against a cold, unforgiving stone... Now I can learn from one of the best.

I don't mind not being able to visit the store/warehouse, I just wanted to find a way to learn more about the craft other than trial by fire, because Mr. Miller makes too nice of strops for that :P

Thank you so much, Mr. Abrams.

Hehe, happy holidays ShavedZombie...looks like ya got your wish

Yes, while on the subject of nice strops.......you may get an education there as well......Lynn will probably have one or two pretty nice strops for you to look at

Indeed!

Considering my Xmas gift was a Tony Miller Horsehide and Nylon, It would seem my holidays are going to involve a lot of straight razory-ry. And I would not have it any other way

I actually intended to bring my Dovo Best Quality, and TM Latigo and Cotton... since my Horsehide and Nylon is being mailed to a campus mailbox, I won't have that at the time... However, I have wanted a chance to (1.) get a feel for the SRD Latigo and Webbed fabric, since I've heard good things about them and (2.) see/maybe try out a 2.5 inch strop... I've only ever really used a 3inch...

This is going to be a marvelous opportunity
