There is one minor problem with summer falling on a weekend..... if you sleep in cuz ya don't gotta go to work, you might miss a large part of it.... and damhikt.

Let's hope summer falls on a weekend this time around!

Thanks guys.... It's so "liberating" to know it's "not just me" when it comes to dropping the &*($#&@-@# razor. :soapbox:

That said, I do feel for ya'll as I know all too well the feeling!...

Well.... I did done it!

I've made peace with my cantankerous hone.... or more likely it was the cantankerous honer that made peace with the hone....

It is an Ozuku kiita I got from Garret. I...

Yes..... it's a conundrum for sure. It's not that I need the money, it's just that I'd rather not have these hones end up in a garage sale on the $1 table as the Mrs. has no interest in this sort of...

That's pretty much the story of MY life with natural stones...... Some I've set my mind to flog it off, but stopped by the fact I wouldn't wish such torment on anyone else, only to turn around,...

I'll be waiting for the verdict. :beer2:

I've been working on a Speed Honing Technique..... 1k then straight to 12K or natural finisher.... I'm still playing around, but it involves tape and no tape.

Thanks.... I don't think it will see that much use, a 1K Naniwa Pro stone is plenty aggressive, but I had one razor to restore..... no wait, it's actually not restorable, but it would be good for...

Just a super quick thanks to Sharptonn and the rest of you for posting about the "Brown Turd". After finding out it was so inexpensive, I ended up ordering one from Paulsfinest and whoa Nelly, does...

PaulsFinest has them, saves you going across the border for a single item like that... Naniwa-Japanese-Nagura-Dressing-Stone-A-206_600-grit

Gorgeous razors, and the cook top ain't no slouch either! ;)

No pictures today, but I thought I should post something.

Grabbed my ol', seen better days, "Red Diamond" 5/8" square point and my well ignored Coticule and touched'er up using the dilutcot method...

So.... Bekk, Willisf and I got together for a quick coffee about a week ago as Willisf had to make the trip to Winnipeg, so why not....

Bekk (Danny) brought some stuff I'd given/lent him back as...

Dang it all.... I was convinced I'd turn that Escher I found around for a quick profit. Then I decided to toss my latest honing job, a Red Diamond, on it, after a full workup on my Jnat. It was...

Ahah... YOU are the one that bought the hone I so carefully selected, but didn't pull the trigger on in time! You have gotten yourself a darn nice hone there.... I'm envious! :cry:

I have been...

Patience is a virtue!

No pictures I'm afraid... see previous posts for the hone and razor.

I honed my Boker King Cutter 5/8" full bellied hollow on the Jnat and got one of the best shaves...

Son ofa...... yeash! Took a Boker King Cutter 5/8" through its paces using two of the Nagura stone slurrys and finally a diamond plate slurry made from the Jnat itself through to clear water.... I...

I'll keep this short. My Jnat is in the house, preliminary tests show it as superb, butter smooth. I have Nagura stones as well... I hope to give it all a good workout come this weekend, time...

Not to mention "He'd better not try and lather me up for a shave test.....!"

More of a last kick at the cat sort of thing!:rofl2:

I included a basic 3 piece set: Botan, Mejiro and Tenjyou, just to play with.

I'm also getting a diamond nagura. I could have used one of my...

I'm about to enter the fray of Jnat ownership. I have selected a hone and it should be on it's way shortly.... I cannot speak to it's capability yet, but based on the back and forth discussions I've...

Wow... what type of scope?

Urghle..... that's what my blade looked like, only under a 30x loupe! :p

Thanks, that was like deja-vu..... all over again! :gaah:

Mine hit the hardwood floor/my slippers... Not sure what got...

So.... I was thinking about posting a picture and story here..... and then it happened. I dropped my &*#(^!$ Clauss on the floor!

It's ONLY chips on the toe part... but I have been working on the...
