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

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.

Suicide Pass - ATG upper lip (Only for the fool hearty or for those who want a cheap nose job.)

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.
