Thread: Honing Help !!! Please

I need some help learning to hone my razors.....I have a Norton 4k/8k.....Looking at some 1ks ....Simply put I'm looking for someone in the San Francisco Bay Area, Who would be willing to help me get started. I'm in Morgan Hill and willing to drive an Hour or so .
Thanks ,
Peter.

I'm sure someone will chime in, in the mean time, check out Lynn's vids or you could order his DVD. Also, there is a recent thread with a link to HeavyDutySG's honing demo series, which is up on youtube.

Do you have a link to the utube series?

It was just recently posted in a thread called "This helped me when I was a newbie" or something. I'll look.

http://straightrazorpalace.com/honin...me-newbie.html is the thread, or go here http://www.youtube.com/user/tonycoronado

They are in the SRP Wiki in the video section here. You ain't seen 'em yet ?

Have you checked the community map? See what members live close to you and put your name in...

I wish to thank you all for the wealth of information you have bestowed upon me. It has been a tremendous help. But , it would still be nice to learn a few things with someone looking over my shoulder (could save a few razors lives).

Thanks again,
Peter.

Peter, I live over a thousand miles away so I can't do you any good. That said, I got lucky and had a honemeister 30 miles from me who allowed me to come over his house and he showed me stuff I might never have figured out for myself. If you can find someone who knows their stuff and is willing to show you it could make a lot of difference in your progress. The member map here shows a lot of guys in your area. You could try PMing some.

It's unreal... As many times as I have been through the Wiki there is all kinds of stuff I missed.

I'm gonna be watching some videos for awhile now.
