I'm still keeping an eye on this thread. I'm retired, but always seem to have a lot of irons in the fire. Some though could be moved around if a date is firmed up.
I know the feeling. Between having the grandchildren at home and my wife's health, I barely have time to think sometimes.Me too last year was my Daughters Sr year of HS and we were busy every weekend with something.
I would have to come from austin but it may work out. I have been known to travel further for my hobbies.It almost summer time we need set a Sat or Sunday afternoon date and meet again.
I'd like to come in from out west in Coleman County to a meet-up.
I'm interested. Work in Dallas and live in Rockwall .it would be cool to meet up with some members. It would be super cool to exchange info and compare technique for honing.
Lapping film rocks. I did a few with sand paper bevel set and lapping film progression. I believe film is best for maintenance of edge. If you want to restore I'd get a king 1k 6k to start for bevel set then lapping film to finish. I been honing for about a year and a half. I'd consider myself pretty good at it. I sent a blade to a member in Washington and had a chance to meet up and share face to face . That was cool. I'm in rockwall if you ever want to meet up and talk honing.

I would absolutely love to meat up if you have time. I have a Norton 1/4K and a nanawa 8K stone. I also have a full set of lapping film along with other accessories. I had a plexiglas piece made about the size of a normal honing stone but longer. It makes for a great surface to adhere lapping film. It was a custom job so I had to get several. You are more than welcome to have one.
If you are planning on honing any of your razors I would really appreciate the opportunity to do so with you and maybe bring my stuff and you can tell me if I am honing correctly? I also bring food and/or beer with me.
