Perhaps the wives are hopeful the husbands will." Shop assist laughs, until he realises I'm not sharing the joke. Gave them the advice to find a good honer as factory edges are no good, spoke about blade angle and how to use the spine of the razor as a guide to getting close to a correct angle for shaving WTG, and a flatter angle for ATG. How long roughly it would take a beginner to learn how to shave with little to no guideance (personal experience), how much better it is to get guidence from a place like SRP and don't do it the hard way like me if you don't have too. All sorts of stuff really. I walked out of there feeling like I've done my good deed for the day anyway. :)
