I just wanted to publicly thank everyone on this forum for their continued help to not only myself, but to all its members. I especially want to thank Aquanin, who I often bother multiple times a day talking about honing. There is a big difference in honing with naturals compared to man made hones. I was doing great after a vacation where I met Russell (aquanin) and Mike Sandoval. Of course, feeling confident, i stopped practicing. I basically started over from scratch in my learning process. Its something that you really do need to work on. Furthermore, I was practicing/honing some Livi razors that left me dumbfounded that Russell took care of for me. He informed me that it wasnt all my fault, that the steel was rather hard.
In summary, I just wanted to thank everyone that makes this site a great resource for those of us learning this special craft.
