I am also betting that Lynn is a little surprised at all these SRD questions here in the forum and the only email to him from the OP was after a response from him in here......hmmmmmmmmm.

Have fun

I also hear he has one heck of a sense of humor

I do not send many emails or PMs to Lynn but he has always gotten back with me. He has some vids on Youtube so you can see his process for honing and stropping as well. I think what we need is a clone of Lynn so the real Lynn can do honing and the clone can go around the country teaching.

Lynn. Can you help a brother in need?

Hello Lynn,

I tried to send you a PM, but it told me your PM inbox as full, so I'll post here instead...

I suppose I should have just written you in the beginning I guess. Just thought I'd ask the community first to see if they knew.

Anyway, I was just curious what you use as a finisher on the razors sent to you for honing. Since in the future I'd like to delve into honing, and I'd probably start that off with finishers or the like rather than diving straight into full on honing. I've bought razors from others in the past who honed them up before I got them and they all feel a bit different, some more comfortable, etc. and I'd think a lot of that has to do with the final steps on honing.

I'd appreciate any advice you'd have on this. Thanks.

Aaron

Wxman2000 if you want a great finishing stone get the Naniwa 12K. It's super easy to use for touch ups. It really smooths out the edge. Afterwards strop on linen then leather and shave away.

There was about a 10 day straight period a few months ago when I was on an ordering frenzy. I literally called SRD at least once a day with what I would call OCD type questions. I mean seriously annoying questions, but they were important questions for me at the moment. I never once was made to feel as if I were wasting anyone's time, and I was always treated professionally. Email and forums are great, but I suggest picking up the phone, giving a call, and getting the answers you need and want. Personal communication is totally lost these days. You would be surprised how willing most people are to spend time speaking with you when you give it a shot. This reminds me, I need to place an order, but first I will obsess over which fragrance of shave soap will best match my cologne. I'll call Don or Lynn and get them to talk me off the edge
