Anybody who can hone in NYC?

Thank you Sam! That is a beautiful razor, more art than razor actually. It was a pleasure to hone.

It was a real treat to watch it being done. I picked up some great tips from you. And the razor was a real nice looker! Looking forward to next time.

Three hours to PA for straights and cigars? 2 hours, 14 min. I've driven farther for less... Sounds like a great opportunity. Is the group at CI at it's maximum capacity? What time would it start? Would this be the spot right off of Rt 78?

Anyone willing to meet up?

Mike, I am considering going to the PA meet. Coming from LI, so I would going right past you. I missed the LI meet and sorely need some visual support with honing.

If I can't make that meet in PA, I would be interested in some one-on-one honing support.. Drink and/or food on me if anyone who knows Coti's and ZG's is willing to teach me the ways!!

Ps: I have coticules and Zulu grey too

Take the offer. Michael is very knowledgeable and a very easy going guy. He won't get frustrated and upset
with your learning curve. He is soft spoken and very patient. His knowledge of synthetic stones is amazing

A real mensch

I speak from experience. Michael is a great guy and exceedingly patient. His knowledge is shared freely. I am fortunate to be one of the many people that have benefited from his experience.

Michael was my mentor. I tried honing on my own before he invited me quite graciously to his home. After I left, I had learned more in two hours than I did the whole month before. Now im no honemeister but due to Mikes help I have become pretty proficient! I'll forever be grateful to Mike for his generosity- truly a great guy and a great teacher! Take him up on any offer that he throws out there for ya. You'll def learn tons.
Thanks Michael!
Regards,
Tony

Agreed, I've witnessed Michael's progress from the first SRP meet in Fort Hill a few years ago and every time we get together his touch and proficiency markedly improve. At the L.I. his edges were high quality. Definitely recommended.

Yea mike honed one of my W&Bs from The ground up and did a superb job.
