Thread: Howdy from the oc

Marty, much appreciated. Will make everyone's lives a lot easier to have a fuller list.

Welcome to the forum

Hi Sean & welcome to SRP. You will most importantly need to know how to use a strop but if you get with Euclid440, he'll be able to show you the ropes so to say. It's great he offered to help.

I know there are a lot more guys available, than are listed.

I’ll talk with the So Cal guys and we’ll add some names soon.

Marty

I have noticed a few states that aren't listed.

Hi guys thanks, me and my brother inlaw met with a group today from the forum for honing meet and had one razor sharpened and got to practice on my other razor to get the feel for sharpening, needless to say I hooked and I'm gonna be putting together a honing set so I can get better, I used my dovo that one of the guys sharpened for me( im bad at names, i forget his user name on here but if you see this, thanks man, it works great!)it worked great, I can't wait till I can shave again, I'll ask questions when I can think of some, I'm here to learn so ill be doing a lot of reading and video research, I hope I get to meet more people from this forum, thanks guys!!

It was a pleasure to meet you and hope we can meet up again. I'm bad at names too but working on it! Shane here, and glad that Dovo felt nice. Seemed like it took a good edge. Talk to you soon.

I looked into the library and the beginner's guide and could not find the local help list. I did not find it until I did a google search for it.

That makes me suspect that it is not as readily available for beginners as it might be.

Utopian, discussion is underway to make it more visible and useful.

Yea, we had a good time, Marty/Euclid440, Shane/Royalcake, Jerry/10pups & Zack/Voidmonster.

You and Dan/ludwigdan caught on pretty quick, honing a couple of razors each on stones and film.

Hopefully trying out some different stone, you will have a good idea of what the different stones feel like and performance you can expect.

It was a perfect So California day in the High 70’s just a stone’s throw from the beach. We honed under an umbrella on Shane’s patio table in the backyard.

Shane fed us tacos and we had a great time. Zack brought some new acquisition of great old steel as usual.

Was a great day, glad you enjoyed it, thanks Shane for hosting.

Looking forward to a 2015 meet tenativly scheduled for 4/26/15.

Marty.

Marty you're always behind the camera! I'll take some next time.
It was a great time. Gotta do it more often. Looking forward to a spring meet!

Shane

Nice!

We had warm weather at the meet-up at my place last week too! I think the high was 34F!
