G'day Gents,
I'm on the lookout for someone who would be kind enough to show me how to hone :)
I'm located in Pakenham, Victoria (South Eastern Melbourne) but I'm more than happy to travel if necessary.
Many Thanks!
Aaron.

If you find anyone let me know. I just moved to Berwick and just received my first razor last week.
Cheers Dean.
Might I suggest that you two get together and watch gssixguns honing videos on You Tube - the man is a jet.
I'm sure that someone will come along soon and help, however, there is an option for you in the mean time.
If I wasn't in Brisbane, I would share what I have learned from them.
Of course, if you pay my fuel I'll come for a ride....hehehehehehe
I'm in Ferntree Gully and can hone well enough for me...though I am still pursuing the 'perfect' edge (I think I got it once :) )
I think stropping is really important too.
I'd be happy to catch up and have a session.
All the best,
Michael
PM me to catch up
I sent austy a PM before I went overseas for a holiday and let him know that I'd be happy to be involved with something when I got back. Well I'm back now so I'm more than happy to pass on what honing knowledge I have and bring a few different stones to a gathering (Shaptons, coticules etc). I'm in Bentleigh which isn't too central but I'm happy to travel.
I've got plenty of spare straights that need honing so I'm happy to bring along a few for people to practise on if need be.
Hmm... we could have the makings of razor meet in South-east of Melbourne!!??:DQuote:

cool I'm in , got some japanese waterstones. I'll bring them. I'm a bit restricted to evenings and late arvo on weekends. Also picked up some razors in need of TLC.
So, do we anyone willing to provide a venue?
I'm in Berwick and I have a Workshop/Garage. Plenty of good lighting and a coffee machine. My numbers 0404250198.
I'm in Pakenham, so Berwick works for me! Depends if the other fellas want to come out to country-Melbourne, or if there's a more central place I guess.
Berwick (and coffee machine!) is good for me- I'm only 1/2 an hour away.
Maybe a Saturday afternoon some time?
All the best,
Michael
Throw up a date and we can then see who can make it. Berwick is fine with me. I might even bring a cigar or two to have with the coffee if anyone is interested.
Damn free coffee and smokes. And here I am so far away from it all! :). The minister for war and finance would never approve the mission, and I would never get away with a clandestine mission...Somehow I think she might notice my absence. :)
Mick
So, did anyone catch up? I got really busy and didn't make the phone call.
Anyone interested in doing a honing meet over December/January?
I'll put it up as a separate thread.
All the best,
Michael
So did this get together in Berwick ever take place? I'm over in Hastings and looking for someone to teach me the art.
Poss272 contact johnmrson in the member services in classifieds and in the thread above
He is Melbourne based and may be able to help you out

Any other Melbourne SE dwellers still around in the forum?
Thanks!
Seb.
Sorry mate I've moved back to Perth
Hi Seb,
I'm not currently shaving, but have all the gear for honing and am happy to catch up and help.
I'm still in Ferntree Gully and am fairly flexible time wise between now and January (I'm on LSL).
Shoot me a pm and we can organise a time and place.
Michael
I moved to the Sunshine Coast a couple of years ago so I'm no help I'm afraid.
Hey blokes! Thanks for all the answers!
I caught up with Michael (FTG), who was kind enough to not only teach me the Honing basics, but also let me have a go using his amazing stones! Great company, whenever the guys are in Melbourne we should organize a bigger catchup!
Cheers,
S.
