Thread: Nortons for Christmas

I should mention that, without prompting, my girfriend got me both a new Norton 4/8K and the 220/1000 combo hones for Christmas.

Yes, and I already know she is a keeper . . .

Yeah, and just when I thought my wife fully understood my interests I get a small sample pack from AOS. As cool as it was I know she probably paid twice what it's worth and four times what it would cost elsewhere <g>.

..I know this is gonna smack me in the face as.. duh! But what is AOS?

AOS = Art Of Shaving .. I think that is what Tony means.

ahh OK. Thanks for the response. I thought I had been to every shaving site on the internet (STRAIGHT SHAVING that is... I am sure there are plenty of other "shaving" sites out there )

I pretty much had a shaving Christmas. I guess I must have been running my mouth too much about it with family and friends, because they definately took care of me. I ended up getting all this:

Norton 4/8K

Hand American bench hone w/ 3 leather pads, 1 glass plate, tub of Boron Carbide, tub of Chromium Oxide, tub of adhesive for glass plate, 3 sheets of every wet-dry paper from 220 grit - 2000 grit.

Tub of Trufit & Hill Trafalgar shaving cream and matching aftershave blam

6/8 1/4hollow W&B from Joe Chandler

Gift certificate for a Tony Miller strop

I can not belive how I cleaned up.

Wow Adam!

This is unbelievable! I mean the breadth / depth of the gifts - you must have driven them out of their minds...

Not sure my family knows even half the stuff you got (and that's cool w/ me)...
You sure you didn't give them a list or something?

Cheers
