Randy and I discussed this. Nearly half the people there were mentors. Hence, the questions were typically about the finer points in this hobby. Still, we all learned something. Some comments...

Gosh. That bottle has been gone for 72 hours and i do not miss that scent. The deer and birds have returned to the 'hood.

No, no, nooooo

PIF to some unexpecting person. We need to pick someone with poor scent abilities.

Lye Soap: Ron

After honing the razor on a Swaty, Ron took it to his face using the Lye soap. He did go after Tim had shaved with the Lye soap and had not started screaming or showing other signs...

Lye Soap: Tim

I bought this soap at a garage sale. Supposedly, it was made in the 60s by a lady who had made it her entire life.

Tim took the lead but showed foresight by trying it out on his...

Ron brought an old Swaty and I fished a really rotten razor out of a bucket and off Ron went. He spent about 10 minutes setting the bevel and polishing the edge. I am still amazed at how fast a...

Ron's Scope

A rig like Ron's is about a must at a meet. Not only are the optics exceptional, everyone can see details and be told what they mean.

My thanks to all of you who came to our place. Bonnie and I had a good time and we hope you enjoyed yourselves and maybe learned a little about our hobby.

Yep, you forgot to take your coat to Minnesota.
We will mail it

We have a washer and dryer.

There is even an ironing board. The six year old, upon seeing the ironing board in the closet, asked Grandma why she had a surf board.

I am a bit surprised a barber hone would cut that fast. Always thought they were just for touching up an edge.

I probably have an old blade we can experiment on.

How about Barber Hones?

Is there a way to use a barber hone if you use tape to hone? Inquiring minds want to know! I do not keep tape in the bath.

Ordered the brats yesterday. TC will not be...
