Thread: maximilian straightened me & my blades out

I am a newbie-ish to the straight and live in Las Vegas. My shaves have not been very desirible. I met max and he showed me why both of my blades would have taken forever to sharpen the way I was going at it. The bevel was off on both. He took both of them and got them sharper than when I got them and they now pass they the hanging hair test. He explained the process and what it takes to keep a sharp blade. And what a collection of cool straights. Someday I hope to own some like his. If you live in LV, he is a must know. I will post more on how thay shave after I use them.

Max is a true gentleman and a master craftsman. You are most fortunate to have gotten to meet him.

Great group of guys here. All very willing to provide help...

Your extremely lucky to live in such close proximity to a gentleman and mentor like Max. I had no such luck when I started!

Max? Who's Max ?

Everyone knows of Max...After so many exchanges over the phone/email and a few restored blades, I will have to privilege and honor to see him next week when my wife and I finally take a few days and go to Vegas for some R&R. He is one of the best.

Max: get ready brother...we're coming!!

Max's work has been published, too! I was going to repost the scan but it's a bit large and I didn't feel like resizing. Here's the thread with the scan in the first post. The magazine was European Car.

Now I understand why people use the straight. What a great shave. And no knicks with
the sharp blade thanks to all who helped
