Hello, I am a newbie and was wondering if there are any classes, lessons, meetings, etc. for learning how to hone properly in the NYC/Long Island area?
Thank you

They use razors a lot down in Devil's Kitchen, but I'm not sure it's for shaving.
Hey, Gap.
.
What you're likely looking for happens at the regional meet-ups. Its been said you can learn more in a day than in 6 mo. of reading, study, practice. Having been to only one, I'd say its true. Noob or experienced, they're incredible for breaking through barriers in honing or other shaving obstacles. If the N'Yawkers have a regional meet - do your best to be there. Joed would be who I'd especially want to meet, learn from, but there's Holli4pirating & others that have ALOT of experience. I don't think you'd regret the time one bit.
I would just stay tuned to this portion of the forum (get togethers) and see when one comes up in your area. I think at just about every one of them honing is a topic that is discussed. Not to mention the more senior members with HAD will bring rocks that are way out of budget or difficult to find for the average enthusiast.
I work in Manhattan, we can get together during my lunch hour. LMK.
There are occasional meetups in ft lee nj for area members. The two I have attended have been great and there's lots to do, see, learn.
I've seen Bayamontate twice and he is a j-nat honing machine. He does razor after razor without fail.
I've had a couple of guys at my house in nearby jersy for honing/stropping lessons and that's worked out great too.

We just had a meet in ft lee, keep your eyes open there will b some coming up.. I'm in long island also new to honing but have a good grasp on it I could show you what I know so far I'm no expert but have been able to hone about fifty of my own razors so far some tougher than others.. I just watched a ton of videos did a lot of reading and had a great teacher named magpie really show me the basics..
Your lucky, you now have several guys offering to meet up with you. Take them up on it, you will learn a lot in a short time and meet some really good people at the same time. :)

If you would like to join up and come, or join up forces and get something going together I would be happy to so. I will be somewhat mobile that Saturday, but that day only as I have other commitments and will be flying in from the west coast. let me know, Alx
