Thread: Any Kansas City area folks who can help out?

Check your Pms please.

UPDATE: All is well, Zack came over at 6pm we had some great conversation, he got to use some different hones than he was accustomed to, and some knew techniques. the Helje is back to snuff. Zack should post some pics of those beautiful monsters he has they will knock your eyes out. He just left a little after 9pm KC time. The guy could and should write a book on razor history.

I had a great time, thanks Zack for stopping by.

I got several generous offers, but Kelly was the one that got to put up with my poor mistreated Heljestrand and unending stream of quasi-related blather about every damn thing a razor has ever done.

I had a really great time, got to use his excellent pile of hones and can now shave with one of the two Magnum Bonums which took an awesome edge. The other needed more love than I had time for since I'd left my poor wife across town with no dinner.

So how went the shave with the Bonum? You bring it over, taunt me with it, use my stones and then no follow up. What kind of friend are you?

I've been hip-deep in house mold and thousands of boxes of stuff. I just had my second shave with the Magnum Bonum. I find that old ones like that, especially the meaty ones, often don't really settle down until I've shaved with'em a few times, and this one is no different.

The first shave was a bit harsh but very clean, the second was much, much smoother and a little closer. I expect the third will be close to perfect. It takes a bit of learning to use a razor that big & heavy!

The Helje shaves like a Helje should, now.

Also really digging your strop! It works way better than my usual travel strop!

JUst as things should be! Nothing like a great shave!
