Thread: Take Resposiblity

I am just weighing in with a couple of thoughts. I don't mean to comment in reaction to the OP, but more as general thoughts that I believe apply to this topic.


1. We ALWAYS want people to do their homework... and most would benefit from doing more homework when starting a new aspect of SR shaving (be it beginning, starting with restoration, honing, etc.). Many questions are asked that would be quickly answered with a stroll through the wiki, or by searching the forums.

2. We never want to discourage people from asking questions. This is a great site, with the most knowledgeable and helpful group you'll find anywhere. If you can't get your head around something... feel free to post, or send someone a PM asking direct questions. I have benefited greatly by sending PMs to some of the giants of knowledge here.

3. Let it be known that the pro honemeisters will not let something slip through the cracks... I can say this because every honemeister I know gives the razors they work on some kind of shave test before ever sending it back. They know that you are trusting your face to them, and they reverence that trust. if you get a razor honed by one of the fellas and it isn't performing, rest assured that it is a technique thing, or you've messed with the edge by poor stropping etc.

Those are the thoughts I had while reading this post... FWIW
