Thread: closure on off topic, and objectivity in moderators.

Rick, no one said anything about doing away with the off-topic forum to my knowledge... where did that idea come from? You're the second person to imply that was a possibility.

BS...pure, unadultereated BS. Forget about it...I don't even believe whaqt you haave to say about straight razors...nausea....Christ, I hope there is someone else on earth who can hone a razor...I'll have to learn for myself..

There are few other forums that you can check out which feature straight razor shaving, although I do not know that many of them will let you speak as freely especially while being a new member as we have tolerated.

I'm not telling anybody anything...I'm merely opining.....is that okay?

I hereby resiign my membership.....
good evening to you all.

How could we see that coming.

I notice he's still listed as online.

And this just a week ago.

Can anyone offer advice to a first time user? My question is since I have had pretty good success with a well honed razor for my first two shaves of a light beard, should I strop before the third shave or continue using the razor until I feel some change?

If I should strop, then what side linen or leather first, and how much? Any tips on using a strop attached to a doorknob re: technique? I understand the blade should be flat, spine and edge. Any pressure at all? How do you get a smooth flip/roll over?

Any help is appreciated...I'd hate to inadvertantly damage either strop or razor.

Happy? Relieved?
Weasel(s).

Is there anyo9ne else in the world who can hone a razor?
