We had another honing session at the Wyomissing (PA ) Barbershop Monday.
Josh - wyobarbershop
Rob - rbaker2778
Jerry - mrsell63
Josh did numerous test shaves.
Rob honed his Butch Harner French Point w/burl scales.
Also we talked about honing a smiling blade. It was a fun day
and we accomplished a lot.

I totally lucked out today! I picked up some great tips and got to shave with Jerry and Robs razors! Seriously, I shaved with 6 different razors including Dorko, BBrown, Omega, Union Cut, and W&B!
Good,times, good folks! Thanks guys!
P.S. Gotta love my pose, shaving ATG with a chopper and No lather.:rofl2:
Sounds like an awesome dude get-together. I love hearing this stuff.
Looks like a good time was had by all. Thanks for sharing.
Uh...Josh! Lather up, willya! :D Gonna have a honing get-together here Sunday! Hope it is as successful as yours! :tu
Great Thread! Nice Chopper.
Josh, would have liked to have sat in on that honing fest.
If you guys get together again, give me a heads up.
Nothing like inviting myself, eh? LOL
I'll tell you what, you can sit home all day and do your thing with razors but when you can arrange a get-together with several guys who think like you do as far as razors are concerned, there is nothing but fun and comaraderie headed your way. Go talk to your local barbers and see how they feel about straight razors. Make friends with those guys and get-togethers will happen automatically.
The end result is worth the effort.
We'd love to have you! Mondays seem to be our day to get together. Keep in touch!Quote:

Your going to have to let me know next time your getting together.
Eh I don't know about packing heat. Its not like its downtown Reading. I don't drive through the city without at least a tazer, baton and my Taurus Judge. Lol I'm a country boy.
When you are used to carrying a weapon and you are inside in a private place it can be somewhat second nature to not worry about concealment. If it wasn't hot in the shop you never would see it. All present were aware of my carry and ok with it. It's legal, I have a license, and it stays in the holster as it should unless necessary.
Lol! Turns out most razor guys like heat too! Jerry, Rob and I all share n interest in guns but we haven't covered that territory yet!Quote:

You are always welcome! I saw a deal on TV about a Philly regiment in WWII yesterday. Not to mention in the revolutionary war. Us Texans would stand with you boys anyday! Think I never saw the 'Vaquero? I shall look! Must be a gun! ;)
Just kidding ya. I shoot competitive rifle and action handgun.
I have a CC but am seldom strapped when I go out.
Don't go to many bad areas.
For me,it isn't the areas I travel to that cause me to carry, it's who I might meet wherever I go. Having come face to face with someone I had previously sent to prison for a violent crime while walking down the street in a nice neighborhood , I find you never know who you are going to see and where. Funny thing is, I know I don't remember the faces of everyone I sent away, but I suspect that there is a chance they would remember me.Quote:

You can strap on your sidearm and shave at home? Same idea, and totally legal I suspect ;)Quote:
