    No Mike, no PHIG on this one. Going to go with my stardard. I want him to shave skin, not remove it. Ha. That stone is still kicking my backside. Been thinking about finishing on the arkie after the phig. Who know what might come of it. But thats another story.

    For the OP: We have a lot of good guys here and a lot of jokers too. And the "Palace" wouldnt be complete if we didnt have a few idiots, so its just a matter of time. Learn from your new friends, READ THE LIBRARY! Its very helpful. Hope to meet you in person in a few days. You never know. I might be like TC and scare you away. Ha.
    Isn't that why you have two of everything, just incase the wife bumps you once? 😫

    Welcome!

    This is a great place. The only thing I’d add is watch some videos. This one got me started:http://https://m.youtube.com/watch?v...ature=youtu.be

    Teaching someone to hone is a really great experience, myself and a few other local members (randydance062449 and Utopian) have helped probably 25+ people with their honing over the years. You will learn as much as the pupil the first few time!!

    I owned a Hess razor. They’re great shavers.

    Hess was an American re-seller. Their razors were made By Dorp and Voos (or Dovo) right until the end and Hess was selling plain Dovos at that point.
    This was a long time ago when Dovo was populated by old Solingen expert workers.
    Nothing like the Dovo production these days. Much like Dubl-Duck, Etc.
