Hi Gents,
I have been shaving with a DE for a few months now and was interested in giving straight razors a try. I found some at an antique store (a Dubl Duck Satinedge and a Griffon Cutlery Works) and googled "honemeister minneapolis." The first result was a thread on SRP of someone asking the same question. That's how I found RandyDance. He lives in St. Paul, so two days ago (the 15th) I went over to his house to learn how to hone and strop. He honed my Griffon and showed me what I need to do to restore my Dubl Duck. The blade still has some life left in it (50 years by Randy's reckoning) but the scales were shot and need to be replaced. He even gave me a strop to use until I can get one of my own! I'm anxious to give this baby a try!
