Thread: John from New England

Thank you all.
I sometimes forget what the internet is and how easy it is to misunderstand someone's intentions. I also see everyone trying to help in there own way and that is great!!

I never planed on starting blind

And I look forward to asking question and getting answers on the forum.
I know this may sound odd to some but sharpening is very relaxing to me so much so that when I get stressed I pull all the kitchen knives and stones out and get lost for hours! I see no reason that honing razors can't feel the same way.
Also To me stropping is part of sharpening/Honing so I do plan on learning both.

As for learning to shave I would have though that went without saying. Every thing one sharpens has a specific task ( you don't sharpen a chisel the same way you sharpen fillet knife or a pair of scissors so to knowing how to use them will help in knowing how to sharpen them.

Thanks John
