    Honing for me is a connection with my Grand Father and Great-Great Grand Father. I remember as a little kid watching my Grand Father shave with a DE and my Great-Grand Father shaving with a straight and honing his own blades. As I became older they patiently helped and explain the proper way to wet shave. They have been gone almost thirty years, I feel even more of an obligation to keep the art alive. This has been a great bonding experience with my sixteen year old son. Passing down an art that was almost forgotten. He never new his Great-Great Grand Father or Great Grand Father but for a little while through me they are there with us. What a great feeling.

    A man should only look in the mirror when he shaves.
