Thread: Am I seeing SRP wrong?

I guess everyone is entitled to their opinion so heres mine...I come to this site everyday for so many reasons. I have yet to find a site on the net that has as many helpful people as this one. I learned to hone while I learned to use a straight and yes, I experienced all the problems that so many here encourage one to avoid and for good reason. But I have yet to read anyone saying dont go buy hones and learn to do it yourself..what I do hear and suggest myself is to get get a razor honed by someone who knows so that you have a benchmark to start within both shaving and honing so to avoid that agravation and possibly give up. The members here are great, to the point that even though I figured I had got the honing down to a satisfactory level for me but in a post I mentioned that I had never had a proffesionally honed razor to comare to. I had a well respected member here PM me and offer for me to send him one of my razors for him to test and hone so that I would have that comparison..he did it at no cost to me other than the postage to get the razor to him (I'm sure this member knows who he is and again...many thanks! ) That is what this forum is about and what the members here will do to help. In turn I have paid it forward and honed a few razors for members and even had them to my home to watch while I did it so they have a general idea. In short, if it wasn't for this site I probably would have given up and never learned to hone. It was this site that taught me all I know today and for what I continue to learn everyday from many helpful members who even though I've never met them I consider my friends. So thankyou to SRP and all of its valued members for all that you do
