    Default Sometimes the goodwill and kindess is just humbling

    So the Mrs. came back from the post office with a box for me. No name for a sender, though the box was from SRD. It was a Nani 12k, which I've been curious about since reading a few comparison threads. I didn't order it. It just showed up.

    I think I know who sent it, but had to tell about the kindness and goodwill from guys here. It just doesn't stop.

    For all of the help of various kinds from many members, I'm very grateful. Thank you.

    You know, I was just thinking about that the other day. This place has a lot of Pay It Forward going on, and its constantly taking on new forms...naniwa 12k's, leather, razors, knowledge.

    It's just nice to see.

    That was a great gift from someone!

    I've been curious about a full set of the Shapton Glass Stones for a quite some time now, and so far only have a 16k...
    I've also been curious about a Charnley Forest hone...
    and a high quality Nakayama Kiita...

    I heard the glass stones work better if you turn them over.

    That is awesome. When I first started here I had a member give me a couple of items to get started. I really didn't know how to handle it considering I didn't even know him.
    I have since given a couple of items away and have started mentoring. I still don't feel like I have payed back what I have received and I keep getting great information.
    Enjoy your new finisher, I really like my naniwa set.

    The attitude of the members is the main reason I joined SRP over another shaving forum. Didn't see a lot of bickering in the threads, and everyone here has been a huge help to me.
    DerekC just tried turning my Shapton over and it didn't work so great :/
