And somehow, the two of them together don't quite add up, do they?

As an aside, not everybody thought that the aforementioned, and self proclaimed, "honemiester" was a nice guy, let alone a heck of a honer. Some thought that he was an abrasive, self-indulgent promoter of his own stones and commercial services. But that is another story entirely. This forum lost at least ten enthusiastic hobbyists over this guy, and that was at least ten too many.

I know who is being referred to there. I bought several razors from him and the edges were not that great - I always had to re-finish them.

I also remember his comments when the whole 'coticule debate' was going on. He basically said that he shouldn't have to modify his honing technique even slightly to hone on the coticules. It didn't seem to matter that people kept saying that that was not the proper way to approach these hones.

My interactions with him were okay. He was abrasively opinionated, but that's pretty common. The edges on his razors were sub-par, in my opinion.
