Thread: My new equipment.

JustN, I'll bet you could schedule some time with the master, Lynn in Cape Girardeau at SRD, and get some priceless training. Lynn seems to routinely invite folks to come for one on one hone training.

(that's my plan for when when I start honing)

Best of luck dude!

Ding, ding, ding! Take the 1K shave test. It was a Eureka moment for me and many others.

That was my first thought as well...

Might seem insignificant, but the body works in weird (wonderful) ways and getting in a more flowing, natural position makes things a whole lot easier.

I've never done this.. I commit to doing it on my next shave.
