The kindness of forum members, especially ...

[Pachuco]

I'd like to make a public thank you to a member who has shown true friendship on the forum, and although I know I may embarase him I would like to acknowledge; mkevenson. Mark picked up a barbers hone for me at an antique shop. If that was not enough when our schedules allowed us to meet, Mark invites myself and my fiancee to dinner with his lovely wife. A great meal (Mark is one hell of a cook)followed by conversations of shaving of course. And to top it off Mark gives me the exact razor that I have been eyeing (Dovo 1/2 hollow CS)! + he lent me Chrome Ox and Diamond paste so I can go ahead and make a balsa wood bench hone, and lent me a book! And let us not forget the leftovers! A great evening with great people. My endless thanks to you and Cheryl, from Diana and myself!

BTW- I think Mark is on his way to become an expert restorer and honemeister, despite his claims otherwise!
