It's a good-natured rivalry with B&B. Chill out, man, there aren't devils around every corner. Tells us a lot about your character though.

So, you're here just to troll, is that it?
So far all you are doing is trying to pick up a fight, as if getting banned for trolling will prove your point?
Here is one more chance you have.

Please introduce yourself and tell us who you are, where you are from, how have you been helping beginners for the last two and a half years. What are your great ideas that will get you banned and where have you proven that they are really great and effective at helping people to shave.

If you are not man enough to do this, we are not going to be wasting our time with you anymore.

NOPE! You're wrong again. I like the guys on the other sites also. That's why I am a member there as well.

I'm referring to your obvious ego. You have no humility and could never possibly be wrong.

Proven by your inability to stop arguing with everyone here.

You had many supporters that just thought you were mistaken and wanted to assure you with their positive responses.

I know because I was one of them.

However, now it seems obvious that the only way you will be able to console yourself, is to be able to tell yourself that your were ostracized by a group of neanderthals.

Hope that wasn't too many big words for you.

I'm relatively new, and the only issue I've had is, as others have alluded to, just too much information. And a lot of it is different, so it causes some confusion. But that just says there are many different ways to do things and people are expressing what works for them. And most of the time, it comes with a disclaimer that YMMV.

I take all this various methods into consideration and see that what I need to do is find out what will work for me.

I'm sad you feel this way Fly, how you could possibly have such an opinion is beyond me, personally I think this a very helpful and friendly forum for everyone, from noobs to pros and everywhere in between.

Even sadder is that this thread and your posts are coming off more and more as pure trolling, I don't know if that's your intention, but it very much looks like it. Prove us wrong please.

this is rediculous....I have been on so many other forums and yes I have found some to be a little harsh at times.....SRP is not like that at all! I love it here...I have been able to pm anyone on here without even knowing them and they have been more than happy to help me. I scowered forums for months trying to find a place where polite people could gather and talk about a related topic and I found it here at SRP...I think you are way off with your thoughts and owe the forum an apoligy!! those are my thoughts on this topic and I hope you understand them!

I agree with you mcfly to a point that new members are told to try a blad doen by somebody else instead of honing there off off the bat. but i also see the logic behind it if you cant get the edge right and have a few horrid shaves than its discurraging to the person thats learning. I went agenst some good advice not to rehone my first razor but i still had one guy (utopia) who knew how to hone off of the barbers hone i had and he helped guid me thru it in a few pms, I ended up gettign it right after alot of semi sharp trys, But i will say that in general srp members go way out of there way to help others i was given my frist strop as a gift from a complete stranger that wanted to help get a younger member started. and i was recently given an offer to hone an edge on a new razor just for shipping cost. so I can by no means say srp dosent want to help a new person out they just want to see him start out right.

And as far as being forced to buy stuff, that just comes in the form of our various Acquisition Disorders. That's why I need to delete my eBay app and stop looking at all the Show & Tell posts.

Thanks DH

My experience exactly.

... wait not exactly! I never got any free stuff. DAMN

But I have given away 4 razors and 2 strops for free. Strangely it seems to me that this is not uncommon here. Bastards!!!

I'm feeling used.
