Blind Buys
It seems like these could be great summer add ons.

Nice grabs Paul. Before long you will be part of the 200 club.

?????????

Don't have an Ali's blade and thinking about it I don't have a SR with wood scales. Now it's all rectified.

Mottled Vermont Slate hone, 10x2x1. Will be doing a write-up in the hone area of the forum sometime soon.

Scored this Keen Kutter barber hone on Etsy about ten minute ago, looks very good condition, no obvious chips, dings or scratches (there were more pics than this one), just in need of a lap and condition. Dual sided.

I have the same hone, she’s good for a travel touch up, with minimal pressures.

Do some reading here before lapping that. Some won't ever be the same after lapping.
Clean and apply Vaseline is always recommended.

Yes - straight razors, watches, boots, and my latest - building PC's again! Been 15 years since I built one, work and my laptop were attached at the hip - with retirement - let there be Gaming again!

Built a new machine not quite a year ago - already re-built it.

Lucked out in the EVGA Elite Members Club - got my hands on a EVGA 3080ti FTW3 Ultra and with the Discount code I got from the "Spin to Save" wheel - got 40% off - winner.

Now I basically have two 2060 GPU's and the components for a complete separate PC lying around - daughter is excited she will get her own desktop as well.

But "Enabling" is my new middle name, or maybe I should have it as a title instead of "Mr." ??? lol

I've restored a few barber hones over the last year or so, Modine's tutorial was the one I looked at before I started. I had a Wester Bros hone which looks very similar to this except the colors are reversed, that one came out quite well so hopefully the Keen Kutter will come out just as well although it is impossible to know. The Wester Bros was in much worse surface condition than this seems just from visual observation so I am hopeful. The tin is in bad shape but I don't tend to keep tins/razor coffins/boxes if they're beat up anyhow.
