Hi guys this might be the wrong place to post this (feel free to move it Mods)
Being a beginner leaves you with loads of stuff to read up on so I thought I'd ask about clarity on the meaning of the Acronyms used on the forum I'll Kick it off.
WTG = With The Grain
ATG= Against the Grain
Not sure if this is what you're after ?
Acronyms and Abbreviations - Straight Razor Place Wiki
xtg - across the grain
Hey Oz that list is no good! It doesn't have the abbreviation for CT = Cut-Throat razor, included in it. It's an incomplete list. We'll have to speak to the MODs about this. Bloody serious discrepancy. :D

Errr , ya realise any member can add to the Wiki Mick :p :)
Well then, best I go and correct it then huh?! :)
Mick
Now PS, I'm having my doubts mate! I kept getting an error message, so I have to say either I did it wrong or not every member can make additions to the wiki
Hi Mick, Good point, I think I used ATG to mean Accross The Grain... Woops...
Ah ya probably gone & broke it now Mick. Never mind, repaired & added :)

I like those Ace, but you forgot one:
RIP Really Incompetent Pass -OR- the result of a Really Incompetent Pass
But what does PHIG stand for? It's a type of hone, I know that, but even I don't know what it means. Probably something stupid simple.
I still can't understand which way my beard grows haha. I just shave what would be considered WTG, XTG, and ATG, and it turns out fine!
PHIG = "People's Hone of Indeterminate Grit" A name bestowed on the infamous Chinese 12k by Holli4/Dylan after Utopian started a thread about the fact that we have no clue what grit it is :)
huh, wish I would have seen that wiki when I first started perusing this site. I thought some of your were speaking a foreign language at first.
Thanks Glen, I was really feeling stupid over that one. I did a search once (pre-google upgrade) to try and figure it out but all I could find were posts that used the term PHIG and no definition of what PHIG was.
I was sure it wasn't connected to the fruit!
It has been added to the wiki's acronyms list:)
So, are you going to tell us what mowfow means?
The best way to find this is let your facial hair grow out a few days and you will be able to see how it lays. I did this after a few months and realised that my xtg pass was actually atg and a major cause of alot of razor burn.Quote:

"well" he said "I guess your just a Mowfow, so try that" I did and it hadnt been taken
FYI, I knew what it meant, I just wondered why the heck anyone would choose that username. Now I know!
After 2 years, i just learned what NOS stood for.Quote:

It wouldn't hoit :)
I think it'd be a good idea...another place for guys/gals to run across it as the Wiki can seem a bit overwhelming and this may be missed (as others have mentioned).Quote:
