    I want an email on Honing! Where did you see an email on Honing?

    Oh I see e-mail not email.

    I wish I had the dedication to shave as often as you have. I'm so infrequent with my shaves that it'll be a long time before I catch up to you in sheer number of shaves. But I enjoyed the post and it made me pause and reflect on my own journey to the modestly proficient place I am at today. Lovely post!

    Nice post! You are my kinda guy, GITTER DONE!

    I shaved a lot more than once a day when I first started and found it invaluable. To truly learn one needs "blade on the skin" time.


    Take Care,

    Great post, Lawson, and so well-written. I think you and I took this up at about the same time. You've progressed much faster than I have, though. I'm still taking 35-45 minutes to shave (3 passes). I enjoy it, so the time's not really an issue, but there are days when it'd be nice to be able to be done in 20 minutes. I think I've kind of plateaued. Not sure what to change about my technique that would make a difference there.
