    Default Helping newbies...

    ...I don't do it. With the odd exception I don't help newbies. I stand back for a bit and gauge their interest "Is it rea?l" "Is it worth my time?" These are the questions that I always ask myself before I commit myself to seriously helping. I do not help until I am moved to help and am always sorry if I offer help before I am moved to, if that makes any sense. Well, I was moved to help one young man ( climberslacker ) before I even knew anything about him. I believe he is our youngest member. I invited him over to my house and we talked about stropping properly and shaving angles. I showed him my collection of straights, strops, and hones. I found this young man to be extremely well mannered and very interested in the whole process. I was very impressed by him, but his overall gratefullness touched and humbled me! He is an absolute asset to this little community!

    He sent me a thank you card even, which is what inspired me to post!
