Thread: Big shout out to all the mentors out there

i have been so impressed with the quality of people i have met on srp .. i had to write a lil post about this.. Since starting out straight razor shaving most of all my info questions had been answered via this foruum.. guys were more then willing to teach you or help you what they knew then i started meeting guys from this forum and realizing how special a group of guys you all really are.. honing has been my major fault then i starting sitting down with many of you u know how you are and now i finally have a grip of what im doing or building blocks.. special thanks to bill3152 and mjsorkin.. and for the great hospitality of svcaramia...

Those of us who have been fortunate to learn so much from them will at some point owe the next round of new members the same hospitality. Any time you find yourself in possession of old/traditional methods, you're entrusted to keep that alive by passing the knowledge on to others. And that applies to just about anything you might call specialized or traditional. The fewer the number of people with that knowledge, the more important your participation becomes. I'll bet you didn't think you'd be accountable for so much when you signed up. LOL.

The mentors are a great asset to our community. The wealth of knowledge, the welcoming atmosphere, the friendly banter, the unstinting willingness to help out members new and old. Their contribution to the site is almost incalculable (though, if I had to calculate it for say....I don't know....Sharptonn, I reckon I could get away with just fingers, maybe a toe or two... )

Yes - a great asset, always very patient with us all, and a total help both in fellowship and knowledge.

Thank-you to all!!

Glen said to me once you don't fully learn until you teach. I firmly believe that. See you guys next week! Lol.

Hey now, Cobber!

I'm with airportcopper. Thanks guys!

Just think, if you had to go out and pay someone to teach you this stuff. Everything from shaving and razors to honing and stropping and hands on restoration.

Maybe we should send all you guys a bill-har har.

Being a mentor, I do appreciate the folks who come to me or call. I have had to do a lot research to be able to answer some of their questions. I have not had a poor actor show up nor a broken appointment. Thanks guys!
