Any honemeisters in New Mexico?
I'm looking to learn honing and, like an idiot, I decided that my first attempt at honing would be an old W&B Barber's Rattler. I'm either totally incompetent or it has some seriously uneven wear. I would love to get this thing shaving sharp, but I can't even get a bevel set. I'm hoping that maybe there's someone local who could help me figure out what I'm doing wrong. I guess I could always send my razor to someone to have it sharpened, but I don't feel like I would learn anything that way.

That may not be the best 1 to learn on. Send it out if you use it and find some e-bay scrap to learn on. :<0) I do hope you find someone close to help you learn and if you do great, forget my other advice.
Good judgment comes from experience, and experience....well that comes from poor judgment.

I am sorry... I am in ABQ! But i am not a pro at honing by any means... I am good enough to restore and make my razors shave ready for personal use...but i can always give you my humble opinion on anything... For what is worth!!! Originally Posted by Seguragr

If any of you guys in New Mexico are interested, there is usually a meetup in Denver sometime in July. Glen (gssixgun) comes down and shares his knowledge with us. Great way to learn a whole lot very quickly.
