Thread: CAN HONE 3 RAZORS

Ahhh, the benefits of free speech.

Sounds like one of those emails you get...where your bank is missing some information and you have to go to a website that looks just like your bank...but the title says something like yougotjackedbyme.com, and after you're done filling it all out you realize you just got...well, scammed.

No offense to the new guy, but they all type like this fellow here, you can hardly understand them, and they just want to help you out of the kindness of their heart. You've been around here for 2 years, and just decided to join...no your story doesn't check out

I despise things that smell fishy like this, and it's always targeted at some poor newbie...

I'd trust the fellow more if he had a higher post count, and had been here for a while, until then...no

+1, I would also like to suggest that this could possibly be a hacked account. I am an avid MySpace user and accounts get hacked on their all the time.

This is my story .i started to use straight razor almost 3 years ago and get membership in old forum.at that time i didn't know how to sharpen straight razor and was struggling a lot until i find old site. lynn didn't have free time and i got help from Randydance(i think) . Randy did make 2 of my wade and butcher's shave ready and did charge for only 1 st, second one was free.Later on He did help me to get belgian hone.After a while i did find out Randy had healthy problems and that did touch my feelings.i promise myself the day which i would be able to help someone in this razor place i will do so.i have been very busy and almost never had chance to give back.Now i had chance i wanted help.My account hasn't been hacked or hackers wouldn't be interested to take 3 straight razor from new people.
I do remember another case of course long time ago.
there is 1 person by name i think is Bill he buys a lot razor i mean a lot.Once he bought same straight razor from same seller 3 times in a couple week period.i don't know may be he remembers this.
That is all i can say and good night all.

Could you tell us your location? Or general area? That would be a big in factor in deciding who to send razors to for honing...

Ok, I happened to be the first one to challenge your offer. However, I would like to clarify that I did not have any reason to believe that your offer was not on the up and up. I just felt that it seemed a little suspicious so I thought it best to invite you to clarify your abilities a bit.

I do agree with you that it is a tad unlikely that you would join the forum with the express purpose of stealing 3 razors 3 years after joining.

As someone who is woefully mono-lingual, I am amazed at anyone who is able to communicate an any meaningful way in another language. I don't consider your less than perfect English to be in any way suspicious.

Please don't go away because of our less than tactful response to your offer. I highly encourage you to PM Randy and ask him to vouch for you.

I hope that you don't wait another three years before posting again and please, let me be the first to say...

Welcome back!

Hello Bud! Long time no see!

Yes guys, Bud is for real. He started way back on the Yahoo forum and I believe he is making a sincere offer. If I recall correctly Bud was working on getting his American MD degree, he was already a doctor in another country and immigrated here. It was after he got that that his time became very limited. Internship perhaps? Bud trusted me enough that he sent me a YG Escher to try out which I promptly misplaced and forgot about for several months!

If any of you new guys need a razor honed then give Bud a try and let us know how the razor shaves.

Bud... you want to hone a razor for me? Just kidding!
The guys here are very protective of the newb's so please don't be offended. Good to hear from you again, call me anytime.

Thanks Randy for the update.

I must admit (even though I held off posting) that this did smell like an open 10 year old can of tuna. I'm glad it has worked out positively.

We have so many quality honing outlets which have already been well established that it's fair to say that we're already well equipped in that dept. Im sure more are welcome though!!

Come by the forum more though OP. Always good to see new faces with experience behind them.
