As long as you don't come after 1am Sun morning you won't be late

Once again, a big Thank You to CarrieM and JoeD for their hospitality. A small but fervent band of wet shaver/razor type folk shared information, laughs, and great food. I am amazed at the information that these people have about razors and hones and sharpening techniques (not to mention soap making skills).

Anyway, as always, it was a fun and informative time, and it's a great excuse to get together with these people. (I know Karen, no excuse is ever needed.)

Thanks again.

Oh yea, it was another great one. Big thanks to our wonderful hosts!

Pics......needs pics........

Yeah! If there's no pics, it didn't happen!!!

Must not of happened then, No one took out the camera's this trip

I hated to miss this meet, I was working a stupid commercial paint job and I've promised to work when asked.

But still.....no pics? Dylan....no pics? Oh well, I'll try to make up for that the next time we get together.

We missed having you, Stimpy. I didn't bring my camera, but I think QuickNicker snapped a few shots off.

Thanks to all that attended the meet! We enjoyed your company, conversation and sharing razor experience ans stories.

This was a nice casual meet at a nice casual pace. On Saturday evening, over some single malt scotch (JoeD and Holli) and CarrieM's soap making supplies (Quicknicker got into the rum) Quicknicker, Holli and I got to playing with the microscope and diamond paste on balsa and on paper. The results were amazing! No over honing, no second bevels (even after stropping) and a scary sharp edge! Quicknicker and Holli were manning the scope, I was honing on paper and Quicknicker had honed on balsa. Maybe some day soon they will create a thread and discuss the results as observed through the scope. I can attest to the scary sharp! This process seems to send hairs flying with the razor's shadow alone!
