    Although that might be true on here, I was much more vocal on the Carter You Tube Channel, but that was censored off...

    Also many times the actual messenger of news ie: The Senior Mod that notifies people of Mod decisions is oft times blamed as the single voice of SRP, when in all actuality no one Mod ever makes a decision here...

    As to the offer, I guess I will answer that in kind, on my own You-Tube Channel, in a vid, when I get a free minute...

    The thing I am curious about in regards to Murray's videos is:

    If he's been shaving for 19 years, then why was that Lou gentleman's face bleeding out of multiple cuts? I understand he shaved him with implements other than razors but I think most of the bleeders were caused by his use of the razor.

    All I have to say is, no one teach me how to hone a knife or a razor, and when I was learning, I didn't have access to youtube or internet, or even stones higher than 400grit (knife). And I did some of his mistakes, I found out the hard way that they were wrong, and changed them, because the result wasn't good enough with the specific sharpening or honing method. No matter what he says, I don't think this person has any experience with honing, that's why he makes those mistakes. If he continues to hone he will find out eventually why everyone here says what he is doing is wrong. Till then, I don't think anyone can change his opinion that his method is the absolutely best way possible to hone an edged tool no matter what everybody else says.

    Well, shaving somebody else isn't quite the same as shaving oneself. Plus even Lynn gives himself a nick on his shaving demo video, and at that point he'd been doing it for decades. Things like these happen to everybody, I think I get a tiny nick once every 6 months or so, but I still consider myself competent straight razor shaver to the extent that this is the only way I shave (because it gives me the most comfortable shave I can get).

    As far as the free course, I'm sure over three days one can learn a lot of bladesmithing from Mr. Carter, but there are much simpler ways to compare the end result of honing a razor, if learning is the objective here. Just mail few honed razors back and forth and it's done.
    In fact I'd be more than happy to provide a pair of nice straight razors to each of them (vintage but appear to never have been honed post factory), so that it's the same razors just honed differently.

    Maybe his unorthodox honing is why he would rather shave with his kitchen knife over a straight, pay attention at 5:50 in this video.
