Thread: I know it's been asked: Newb asks a question about refreshing straight razors

Great idea, Roy. That's exactly why Glen made the video, so he could have me make all the mistakes that beginners will want to see and avoid (typical honing videos skip that part usually). The cost of Glen's valuable mentoring was the making of this video. That experience made me more nervous than an interview or public speaking...not only having Glen watching me across the table but that darn camera going as well.

At least I didn't cut myself taping that first razor.

It sure was a while back...still had some decent hair atop my head back then. Now, not so much.

My friend, you sure didn't look nervous, if you were, you hid it well.

Something that newbies need to learn from this (even though it's kind of a mirror image) is that by one on one 'they' (the newbie) can stop the more experienced person and say; "Hey, could you do that again, I didn't see what you did" Where in your case Glen could see what had happened and then have you correct it.

I'll Preach it till I die and that is 'One on One Learning' is the Best Way of Learning!
