Greetings

[Kmcmichael]

Hello to you all.

ALthough I have had a previous dalience with SRs. I have again become interested. Perhaps my upcoming mandatory retirement is a factor. I think the struggle to learn a new skill is appealing; or, maybe I just like to bleed! At this point I consider it all magic and my meager honing success will be chalked up to luck...or voodoo.

I have only shaved with a SR 5 times but I seem to be improving. My straights are still not as comfortable as my DE. I have had one razor honed by a pro and purchased a new Hart Steel meat cleaver. I have only sharpened one blade that can achieve the same results, purely accidental. I have already garnished some valuable info from this site that I hope to put into practice.

This seems like a rather personable enviroment.

Welcome. Ask what you need to and go to a meet at your first opportunity. There is a lot to learn, but it isn't rocket science. You will find success!

Welcome. I followed the same path as you...first tried a LONG time ago. Came back 2 years ago and love it.

Hope you do too.

Welcome aboard. Enjoy the ride. SR shaving and honing is a great hobby.

Welcome to SRP! Honing, like shaving, is a skill that takes a little time to develop. Lots of good info in the library section. The right stones(especially a good bevel setter) will make learning much more enjoyable.
