Thread: Norton Honing Pyramid

At the risk of inviting a myrid of comments about my declining mental status, I can't find the post on the above topic. I know many of us have moved beyond this, but with the constant arrival of new members, I though we had said we were going to create a "sticky" with this information. Is this one of the things that got lost in the "event"? Or is it just someplace where I can't find it?

I have a regular need to refer customers to this information. It is also a way that I find useful to introduce people to our community, who may not be aware of all the resources that Straight Razor Place has to offer.

By the way, as you know, Lynn hones my razors. What you may not know is that every one of those razors goes out the door with a label attached to it that says in part "......honed by Lynn Abrams, founder of Straight Razor Place, (http://straightrazorpalace.com). It's just another way that I'm trying to expand the awareness of this special place.

I know its in the archives/library section. Maybe a sticky would make sense too. Even I don't feel comfortable making things a sticky. Its like hanging up stuff in your neighbors house.

Alan,

Thank you for getting back to me so quickly. I did access the document where you said it was, but to do so is a bit awkward, to say the least. Futhermore, I don't think, given the relative universal appeal of this "tool" for the new member, that this is the best place for it. Admitedly, my proposed use of the pyramid to promote SRP is a secondary need of mine alone, that shouldn't enter into the discussion. However, I would ask that you and the other Moderators at least consider the "Sticky" idea.

Is the pyramid doc linked in the newbie FAQ? That would be a good place to make a shortcut to it.

As I'm thinking about it, I'm wondering if it might be good to have a FAQ sticky at the top of each forum. Maybe I'll suggest that somewhere....

Jim,

No doubt. I'll will address it as soon as possible.

I have a question about the pyramid system- What advantage does it do to keep on going back to a coarser grit when a fine edge is the optimal outcome? I mean, why tear down what you have, hopefully, been building up? Why not keep on going with the 8000 to a finer and finer edge? I don't mean to be a dunce, but I can't see why it is done.
Thanks,
Fred
