If there's one thing i've learnt from the forums its that everyone finds doing things slightly differently works for them. Some people use Nortons, some coticles, others use other items to hone. Some choose 5/8, some 6/8, some wedges. Some go for half-hollow, others full.

Variety is the single biggest watchword on this forum. It is the very reason that SRP is such a valuable resource. Everybody has different experiences. Newbies can learn from the experience of others.

I'm not saying this is a bad idea. I'm simply saying if its going to be done it should be done thoroughly. For example, rather than question answer format (eg. Why wont my brand new razor shave properly? A: Likely because it isnt shave ready. (How many times have you read a thread like THAT!)) a better format would be question, possible reasons, solution AND WHY THIS SOLUTION SHOULD WORK.

For example:

Q. My new razor isnt shaving me properly. Its just tearing the hairs out. Whats wrong.

Possibilities; Poor technique, Poor preparation, Razor not shave ready etc....

THEN each of these would have to be explained. How do I know if my technique is poor? What am I not doing in my preparation? Who can I trust to tell me the razor is shave ready?

So before I start rambling and ranting just think long and hard. Doing this would mean it would have to be done RIGHT and done WELL. Are we all up for this? Or as an earlier poster said, are we reaching burnout point?
