Thread: New member

Hello everyone. New member from St. Louis, Mo. Longtime pocket knife collector who's more interested in using than looking.
Several years ago gave up crappy multi blade junk in favor of a DE razor. Always wanted a straight razor; finally bought a Shumate barber on Ebay.
Probably paid too much, but not way too much. Anyway, I've been following threads here and while I can sharpen many kinds of blades, I'm certain i should not attempt that with this new old item.
Can anyone recommend a Honemeister near St.Louis? I'd be grateful for any knowledge.

Thanks. John

Take a ride down to Cape Girardeau and I'll teach you how to hone your own.

Welcome to the forum
