I had a nice visit today with anthogia. We started with some basic hone maintenance. Then I honed one of his blades while explaining technique and sharing my honing philosophy along the way. I also gave him some pointers on honing and some exercises to practice at home. He has a good foundation and seems like a good learner. No doubt he will quickly have success.

It was also fun seeing his (growing) collection or razors and stones. He let me try out his jnat and his 8k naniwa. I may have to pick up one each for myself!

So a good time was had by all. I really like one on one sessions like that and it's always great to help a new member.
