honemeisters in Los Angeles area

Hey guys. I live in Los Angeles CA in Santa Monica. I've been shaving with a straight for awhile and it's amazing. I really love all the things associated with straight razor shaving. And now I'm trying to venture to the art of honing. Was wondering if any "honemeisters" lived near by that would be willing to spend some of their time with me to teach me the art and show me the right materials. Or just give me some good advice. If so please PM me so we could talk. Thanks so much for any advice

Hey guys. I'm in the OC...Perhaps we could arrange a meet and I could show you the basics of honing. Drop me a line and we can talk about what your goals are...

Hey guys. I'm in LA too (Los Feliz). Could you recommend a honemeister nearby to get my new razor actually shave ready?
Thanks

In a year I'll be back in Santa Barbara, not by choice :p

I'll be better able to get in on a few gatherings again, much looking forward to that :)

Thanks for the offer Marty. Already got some help, but appreciate it.

Hey guys,

I hate to jump into the conversation fray late like this, but I finally hit the point where I wanted to get into honing, so I decided to resurrect a thread instead of starting a new one.

I haven't been the most prolific contributor to SRP, but I have been quite the reader of the threads. I've been shaving with straights for about 6 months and LOVE it. Like I said before, I'm hoping to start honing soon.

I'm sure you guys have all met up, and that this thread is no longer relevant in a timing sense, but I couldn't help but see a few shout-outs from Santa Barbara. Any chance I can appeal to any of the new experts in the field of honing?

Thanks,
Tom

I have no experience in honing but, I'm always down to meet another SR shaver. Pm me so we can chat.
