I'll be there!

I'll bring my stereo scope too. I'll also bring a representative variety of hones and some razors to use for trying out the hones.

Thanks to Mike for hosting this again!

Hmmm... what a fine idea. I wonder how many dull razors I should bring for "those who must hone" to practice upon?

I could bring some weinies and potato salad. Will there be anything available to heat water?

Yes, I cleared this with my wife. Barring any emergent family issue, I'll be there. I'll bring some plain balsa flat hones, some chrome ox and oil and a strop or two. I can show those who want to see the chrome ox process how to mix, apply and use for touch ups.

****** If anyone has a razor or razors they've used recently for shaving that have seem to have "lost something". Please bring them with. We can refresh those edges *************

Thanks Mike for hosting and thanks Randy for coordinating this one.

Just hold the water three feet from his forge. It'll be boiling in no time!

Randy count me in. We can talk this week on if we need to bring anything.
This sounds like fun. Other than honing and discussions, is Mike going to fire up the forge??

> Turn West (Take right) at the FIRST STOP LIGHTS. Go 1/4 mile (a

sharply and there you are.

> Mike should have a sign out on the roadside to mark the turn as well.

Synchronicity smiles upon me again! I'll do my best to be there. I was very close to contacting you, Randy, to se if you were up for a private honing class with me. My straight razor shaving experience needs a kick in the pants, right now. I was getting ready to give it up!

Don

I will be there!
