Kevin's (hidetoarts) visit to KC pays off!!!

[Warpiper]

Kevin's visit to KC earlier this year has really payed off. My only regret is that I couldn't go with him. Kevin found some very nice straights for me as well as a Rolls Razor and he cleaned them all up for me and honed one of them. The rest he left for me to play/practice with. The one he honed up for me is a Diamondine. I don't know much about it (ok, I know nothing about it) but it is beautiful, is hard steel, and has one heck of an edge. It has to be one of the smoothest edges I've felt. I just got it a few days ago and have used it twice and wow, I've gotten a better, smoother shave than I've had in a while and I know its not from my technique improving! LOL!! Can't wait until October to go to KC and learn how to hone that way myself.

Diamondine Kevin also cleaned up and polished the scales too.
