    Default SRP's High Caliber of Members

    I just wanted to take a moment to commend all of you who've found this site and made it your own. I regularly check in and peruse different threads and am amazed at the willingness to help, the civility of tone, the free exchange of ideas and services; but, most of all, I am impressed by the humility of many of the members here.

    To me, humility is the acknowledgement that you do not know everything, nor can you do everything. It is not thinking of yourself more highly than you ought. Humility is the ability to restrain yourself from tearing someone a new one on a particular thread under the cloak of anonymity and resigning simply to let the ignorant be ignorant still.

    As a child of the 80's(grad class of '91), I'm beginning to sound like an old man with constant references to 'my day' and time. With such a disposable, impolite, and sometimes ruthless society bearing down on us at every possible turn, it's good to experience a fairly cordial site filled with those who esteem even slightly the qualities of a gentleman. So, once again, kudos to you all.

    I couldn't agree with you more. Reading the posts, both questions and answers, gives you the feeling that deep down we want to care. Even if it's only about shaving with a straight, it's a start.

    That's the whole reason I joined this forum! The people who make it what it is. Well, and straight razors, of course

    This is wonderful. Very true! It is incredible how helpful all of these fellow members are. I never though I would find as nice of a group as you guys.
