I'd say that's especially anyone who hasn't yet shaved from a true Honemeister's honing. If that's you you should be expected to throw your hat in the ring.

Am I too "old" for an entry? I'm curious about Lynn's honing work but I only have one working razor so if I sent it out for a honing all I'd have left is that Pakistani... My hatchett is a better shaving implement than that.... avoiding profanity... thing

Edit: And I'd like to know what to aim for when my Belgian baby finally arrives from Vancouver in a couple of weeks

that is awesome, I joined just in time.

In any case it doesn't matter whether I qualify or not, I should have said one thing:
My thanks to all the donors, especially Lynn. It's a great thing you're doing for all the n00bs.
On that note, I'd like to thank everyone who helped get me up to my current level, especially Nenad for giving me lots of initial advice and helping me pick out the Taylor and the duckling and X for more advice, going splits on the Belgians, a honing/stropping lesson and making my Taylor's edge nick-free

errr...Lynn gave me one of his razors...and he is currently honing a razor I purchased from classic a while back.

Hello all,

I will be tracking those who want to be in the drawing. I will collect names from this thread and from the "stickey" when it goes up.
This is really a good time for any of you who knows someone that would like to start but is a bit squeezed for cash to have them sign up here.
Its also a good opportunity for those of you who have yet to experience a shave from a well honed razor.

I know that we at this forum really do try to help the new people in any way we can. I do recall that some nice person sent me 11 banged up razors to practice on a couple of years ago( guess who that was!) and really got me going.

This evening I started honing a razor that I will be sending to Lynn to include in this giveaway, a Morris Colligate 5/8 3 pin.
The blade is in very good condition and the scales are OK.

There are no eligibility restrictions on this, but, if I may, can I ask for restraint if you don't really need a razor?

Thanks guys,
