I should have bought a damn grinder!

Randy, thanks again for the opportunity to learn from you and to try out some stones. I didn't know that's,person could set a bevel on a thuri, but after trying so many that day, I nearly accomplished that!
Of the two I took home to play with I still haven't made the final decision. But I'm leaning towards the longer one. I really like both, but can only afford one. Isn't that the way it goes?!
I finally got around to spending some time with them earlier this week. Wow, I like what a thuri does to a razor. I had a terrific shave yesterday with a newly restored solingen blade.
Thanks again for your generosity with time and with your knowledge. I'm grateful for the friendship.

Utopian, thanks for you offer too! I'll pass for the moment, but will keep you in mind. Maybe next week we can get together again. Randy is coming up to learn how to make finger-joint boxes for three of his prized hones. I'll let you know when we settle on a date.

Looking at those cotis by any chance there is no Old Hickory (or something like that ) between them?
