Thread: Gun Culture, 20K SH Group Buy, wanna save $$ and get THE stone for finishing??

That may be true Phrank and I like the Oldies, but have enough stones to finish them proper, I was just SO impressed by the shave from the G20.

So far not many Gent's interested.

No - I'd definitely be interested, read lots of good things about them, and different stones for different razors I'd imagine...

I don't know about all the old sheffields but the ones i have do great on the 20K Suehiro.

This is exactly right. Thread is closed. A request to do this would have to be reviewed by the moderators before it could go forward. Below find the pertinent info from the SRP Rules of Conduct ;

Initiatives (giveaways, contests, group buys, etc.) policy

All initiatives such as giveaways, contests, group buys, etc. are either organized by SRP staff or in cooperation with SRP staff. They can only be conducted according to the rules and decisions of SRP staff. This does not apply to individual instances such as giving away a razor or a brush, or other minor items.

This policy has been put in place to avoid legal and other consequences for SRP. First and foremost, SRP staff need to take into consideration about what is best for the SRP community and for the SRP's reputation.

If a group buy goes sour and someone takes off with the money, we are left with the aftermath.
If someone were to run a high stakes contest with himself as the sole judge, it has the potential to tear this community apart.
If someone were to organize an activity that involves valuable items with a dodgy ownership status, or which would involve taxes, or which would violate gaming laws, we would be the ones answering questions from men with suits.

As soon as anything needs organizing or becomes more valuable, it needs the written approval of SRP staff. If you intend to run such an initiative contact a Moderator via PM or email.[2]
