We do have a lot of opinions in this place........................

My main driver is to have a method(s) and equipment that will reliably and consistently deliver an edge that is a good shaver every time without spending hours on each razor. It is also to develop and promote methods that are the easiest to learn and most reliable for new folks whether learning to hone just a couple of razors or to begin to learn honing as a hobby and then have a good base to start from.
