Pretty powerful Nor’easter barreling up the coast for the weekend. Expecting lots of rain and wind here, and some decent snow accumulations further inland. I’m planning on battening down the hatches with Cooper and parking myself at the bench to catch up on some honing and cleaning up a few blades I’ve had laying around.
Have a great evening and a fantastic weekend, gentlemen! Thank you for sharing all the great shaves and photos!
Lookout Joe, you’re comin’ home...
Old times were good times,
Shawn (& Cooper)
