What I learned at the Rocky Mountain Meet
Huge Thank you to Glenn for sharing his expertise in Denver last weekend.
I went for a hair cut and talked about straight razors with my barber. He showed me a couple of his. This Bismark had some issues. With my new knowledge, I offered to work on it for him. Using the DMT 325 to do the initial work, then setting the bevel with a Norton 1K and working through 4K , 8K and my Swaty, it went from sorry to shave ready in about an hour. I shaved with it this morning.
What a great feeling to have some success on a razor that started pretty rough!
Thanks again to Glenn,

From what I can see in the picture, that looks like a really nice even and clean bevel. Nice work!

I've been to a couple of meets with Glen. Lots to learn from that man and so far everyone that I have met at the meets. Honestly its too much to learn in one day, make sure you remember to go year after year.

What a great job on that razor. It definitely has some issues and the way you solved the problems without beating up the rest of the razor. I am jealous of the lessons you learned and hands on training from the master himself.

Hi Coloshaver,
Nice save on that razor!"These aren't the droids you're looking for." "These aren't the droids we're looking for." "He can go about his business." "You can go about your business."

There is nothing like seeing and hearing a razor that is being honed by someone that knows what they are doing. Looks like you are taking it to the street! Good going!
Take Care,
Richard

I had no idea there was a meet in Denver. I just bought some hones and would have loved to have been there.
