afraid not, but I'm sure it won't be long now

- Start date
It's not that early on the East Coast. Although, those of us with young, insomniac kids may have been up alarmingly early.
Congrats, Jerry! I'm calling it. A month from now you will have at least 5 straights, two strops and a hone.
I bet your right. I can see it happening already.
Well, 1:30 here in Norway. I still have many hours to win the PIF!
I would choose which ever stone doubles best for razors and chef's knives.
My day starts at 1am mountain time. I dont know why these others guys are up.

He's right, I started about a month ago and I'm up to five. Still one strop only, has a couple nicks in it. Don't want to buy a new one and nick that one up as well. Leaning towards stropping with a piece of balsa wood.
On a Saturday? Do you work in a silo with your finger hovering over a red button?
I live on the East coast and wake up at 4:45a everyday, not sure about the central and mountain zoners!
I drive a truck too, hazmatshaver
The balsa wood is really great. I can absolutely recommend it.
Razors and hones are both rabbit holes that it's easy to fall pretty deeply into. Regardless of who wins today, at least one Arkie is definitely in my future, and I'll probably end up with a full range of them so I can go from bevel set to finish. I'm sure it takes a lot longer that way, but there is something about honing on a natural stone that I just don't get from a synthetic. Maybe it's the smell.
I'm just a student so i should really get this assignment done, but instead i'm here bantering with you guys
We are getting there slowly but surely!
Procrastinating at it's finest.

I've never honed on a stone, only film
I know, just some more spam and the stone will be mine
BTW I went to some hardware stores looking for fine sandpaper to refurbish my straights, the finest they had in the woodworking section was 1200. I have heard rumors about very fine sandpaper being made for polishing car lacquer. Where do you buy this?
I have no clue, considering you are in Norway? auto parts store?
I used to do that, lol!
