Thanks to SRD!!!!!
Just got these back after I decided to send in some of my nicer razors to get Lynn and Don to do them right so I have something else to compare my hone skills to.(I didn't want to wreck them)
Fantastic Job and I used the TI today. Awesome!! Thanks for your work!

Thanks MJ, Just saying a big thanks to SRD for the hone... I wanted some of my nicer ones to get a great hone, they needed a great Honemeister to really make them pop.

+1 on the collection. A mouthwatering bunch of exquisite steel.
(my RAD and the voice of jealousy are having a shouting match)

I'm not far off from SRD. It's very subtle. I hone with a Norton 220/1K, 4K/8K, Naniwa SS 12K, CrOx on balsa, White paste on Balsa. (and occasionally a .125 diamond on a felt paddle.) I think as my technique improves the degree of difference will decrease also. I doubt I will ever reach Lynn, Don, Glen, Max status but It's nice to know I can obtain a usable and smooth edge.

really nice set of razors! Would rather have these than a shoe box full of $20 ebay razors with issues. Best Regards and ENJOY, wildhog

Nice collection, I especially like the 5th one down that point looks dangerous. I just love getting razors back that have been professionally honed, even though I can get a usable edge myself theirs are just...well...better.
