Well, in the interest of full disclosure, I just can't like someone who doesn't like sharp shinies.

I hope everyone understands that I have no problem with the discussions. And, I am not trying to bury my own head in the sand. I just niavely did not expect this at a forum where people shave with straight razors.

Maybe I should have expected it. I think maybe straight razor shavers could have an opinionated independent streak. : )

I think you should expect any place where a large group of people have contact with each other to have these types of discussions.

I think that depends on what
brought the people together in the first place. These types of discussions take place here because there is a forum for them. All of the rest of the forums are for shaving and liesure. If these took place in the honing forum, I woul think the mods would kill them.

My only question was why do you want to?

Well consider this: Once you find a group of people who you come to respect and in some cases truly befriend, you tend to talk to them about things other than whatever interest originally brought you together. I see it as a tribute to the group, if I'm honest
