Hi guy's
I meant to get back sooner but I've had such a busy summer I haven't had much time for anything much, slowing down now though. The str8 razors have been going well since getting back into them recently, thanks to a rotation of four of them honed up good ( not honed by me ) so they should keep me set for a while. One thing I'd like to add is although I hadn't forgotten but I'm refreshed in what an un-surpassed shave a good sharp str8 razor can give ! I did pick up a new Naniwa 12000 hone, I like it much better than the Norton and Arkansas I used in the past to keep the edges re-furbished, so, smooth running so far.

Nice to see that you didn't just drop off the face of the earth. Did you find anyone local to you that can mentor you one-on-one? There should be plenty of folks in your neck of the woods lurking behind trees with pockets full of SR's and a rucksack full of stones, strops and shaving accouterments. Good luck and keep striving.

It's good to hear from you.
Sounds like things are going well with the Str8s, so congrats and welcome back.

Hi welcome

I haven't found anybody close by yet, but one thing that has given me trouble in the past is you can only refresh and refurbish a blade so long, I've done a lot of research on here about setting bevel setting. I picked up a Naniwa 1000 and have a number of practice blades to mess around with, it seems that has been the missing link with my honing in the past, I should be able to move into the ball park with time and practice. I've got a lot of time now to tinker with this stuff. Thanks for the replies everybody.
