Glad you decided to take off your shoes and contribute! See you in the trenches!

Thanks, will have to check my budget. Gave up that ear cuttin stuff, got one I could keep track of both ends at the same time.

That earcutter! Always the salesman! Man, I have a large collection and keep an average of 18 in rotation. I really like going from a 5/8 English wedge to a 9/8 singing Solingen blade. The spice of it!

Sounds like a lot to keep track of. Have a hard time with just a few trying to remember which one likes to be stropped this way and which ones that way. We were talking razors?

Welcome to SRP, glad to finally find someone in the neighborhood. I'm in Metairie just off Clearview and Airline.

Now that's too much, IMHO. 3 times a year with each razor. Would have to be 3 times in a row, and I'd still forget all about that razor before I got to it. Now, I know a fella with over 3,000, but doesn't shave with them. Tried to talk him into trying. With that many razors has got to have some good shavers. Have seen two or three big W&B's, couple of Wostenholms, and a big old, Wilton. Have a great day,

Hey guys, just got into straight shaving. It's good to already find some fellow New Orleanians on SRP. I'm in Lakeview. Where do you guys get your blades honed?

**bigeasy1** · 12-07-2012, 01:08 AM

Hi Sig84.

There are several of us here. Little new to SRP myself. Honing at Big Easy Tools, 5626 Jefferson Hwy, Harahan, also does other razor related work, and sells a few. Lots of honers on SRP as well. 'Pacho' on SRP lives off Clearview and Airline. I live in Waggman, work in Harahan. Lots of good stuff here, can't find time to check it all out. Hear Lakeview is coming back pretty well, haven't been out that way in a while. Know of at least 4 or 5 other shavers in N.O. area.
