Special thanks to a local guide

[smhutch]

I recently purchased a straight razor and had no clue what I was doing. I introduced myself to the list and asked for local advice. A very nice gentleman named walt took 4 hours of his time to show me diffedifferent razors and to get mine shave ready. He showed me how to stop and explained the process. I ordered a strop with his blessing and can't wait to try my razor. Just wanted to take a moment to thank an expert. There is a wealth of knowledge out there if you ask. Thanks

Sam - Thanks for the kind words, but it was purely selfish on my part. I lured you into my lair with an offer to hone your razor just to have the opportunity to talk to another living human being with a shared interest in this hobby (obsession?). I wonder how many other SRP members have this same problem of not having a single friend, acquaintance, or family member who gives a rat's "patoot" about this passion in our lives. Anyway, it was great to meet you and to spend some time talking about razors. And I am really looking forward to that "field trip" we discussed. Hopefully in the near future.

Regards - Walt

Haha awesome!

For me, I met a fellow Norwegian into straights on an American forum, turned out he lives just down the road from me, like 2 minutes walking distance, crazy stuff!
