What do you have in the post right now?

Ozuku Nashiji and Hakkayama, just another addition to my acquisition. Those beauties will keep me busy for a couple of days.

What do your family/friends say when you told them you collect rocks ?
 
Friends? Most of them understand after experiencing the end results.
Family? Don't even go there!
Sounds like your family's kitchen knives need to pay your rock collection a visit ;)
No doubt they will appreciate them afterwards.
 
I can assure you that most of them are shave ready
Naturally, as you ahve to be ready for an emergency shave at any given time ;)

They're not rocks, they're freaking minerals!
Is there a geologist in the house, think clarification upon this one is going to be required ;)
 
So did you check?
 
The local crocodile population would like it to be known that alligators are pussies if they can be sliced in half by one razor blade
 
Absolutely @eggbert - I'd back any self respecting Salty from your neck of the woods against 5 alligators (y)
I'm sure you'd get a chance to make that bet. What do you think they spend their weekends doing in the Far North?
 
Just arrived. About to hit the hones. Here's how it goes, $35ea I do the dirty work and you get a dirty shave and a second free hone when required, if you don't straight shave, now is the time to grab a funky monkey and go bananas!

I have reshaped the heel and the toe (thought they were quite ugly)
This will keep them out of the way when honing them for the guys that are keen to learn to hone their own blades.
Geometry issues? Not after I've fixed them.
GO BANANAS!
Thanks @Mark . Arrived in the post today. Ran my finger across the blade. Sharp and it sang at me. Great audible feedback. Looking forward to tomorrow morning.
 
I've been seeing some good reviews about Musgo gear, so I ordered some balm and after shave. Looking forward to it.
