A Christmas WOOT post....

[kaptain_zero]

I don't often get excited these days... but when the C-Mon I bought from Don showed up in the mail yesterday, I was like a kid. Today, my phone vibrated again, with another message. My new Naniwa hones had arrived, and all this before everything closes for the hollerdays!

So now I have my C-Mon, a 1K Naniwa Pro, 3K, 5K and 8K Naniwa SS hones (I already had a 12K Naniwa SS) and they are all in house... it's going to be a very hone-y Christmas!

Good thing too.... I've got a pile of razors needing touch ups, a couple of full bevel set jobs and 2 "Is there a point to trying to restore these?" jobs where I figure if I can get a decent edge out of the steel, then perhaps it's worth doing the sanding and polishing, replacing scales etc.

My Shapton Glass hones have gone to bekk, who I have no doubt will give them a good home, and I tossed in some Xmas trinkets so that he too could have a nice holiday without needing to run around to get that missing piece of the puzzle we all had to work through to get decent edges on our razors.

I think the biggest present I got this year for Christmas was a kindred soul in the city.... someone besides myself who is interested in learning the age old art of shaving with a blade you honed yourself. I'm sure there are more in town, but bekk (Danny) was the only one who stepped up to the plate and showed for our first very very mini meet in Winnipeg.

I hope you all have as great a Christmas I am having....
