I'll give you context to what I was replying to: Originally Posted by mainaman

And, on our dear youtube (and of course here) you can find many instructional videos for free, where you can learn why this thread has been created. I forgot to mention, If you would like to, I would gladly sharpen a knife for you, for free. I'm not saying I'm a honemeister, but I'm sure I can offer you something to compare your edges with.

Wow! This thread turned into quite the discussion!
My two cents:
Was Mr. Carter able to sharpen a razor to the point it could shave (notice no mention of comfort level)? Probably.
Is this the best method of razor honing and should we use it as a teaching method for new shavers? Probably not.
'nuff said?

...and the plot thickens.
At least he's willing to put his money where his mouth is, I guess!

I take back my Tool statement! thats a great invite and you should totally take him up on it!
p.s. After watching the master barber vid, you might not want to let him shave your face. Just sayin

Ok, I'll be the one to ask; 3000$? For this? Recognized togishi charge 1/10th of the price, and out dear honemeisters here can teach you maybe even for a cup of coffee. Btw the most neutral member in this conversation was gssixgun.

Easily the most interesting thread I've seen in a long time! It's as if Martin Luther just nailed his 95 theses to the door of straight razor honing.
