    OK - second guess for me!

    I guess, that you still have completely no idea what to do to hone your razor that will never leave your hands, and that you're making people guess to fish out some more ideas from the experts here, to figure out why you have no idea what you're doing??

    Sheesh, it's cold here and I've been feeling a bit snotty lately, must be the weather....only -5 though???

    Thanks Bob, but you probably haven't read what I wrote but there are no mistakes here. This is my snotty face and its fate is in my hands. Only I will blow it and it will never be sent to a doctors office. Do you hear me? Again, my choice!! You are like a dog to me!!!

    Don't get me wrong, it certainly is your face and you may do with it what you want. I am sorry I had the temerity to suggest otherwise. May I now return to the corner and take my place facing the wall as penance?

    I must say (as respectfully as possible) that as I read through this thread tonight I noticed a couple things. First, that you asked for advice (and got it) but only did what you thought was right and IMO were very rude to people trying to help you out. For example Glen gave you great advice and you took part of it and added in your own two cents and did it your way anyway. I am new here and don't know much but I have lived long enough to know when people are being stubborn and rude and you Sunsweet have been both. Now you are bating good people and playing games? I for one do not want to know what you found out because you obviously haven't 'found' the big lesson here. Humility.

    You are commenting on posts I made nearly a year ago. That discussion is obsolete. I have solidly mastered the technique since. It went from not sharp at all, to outstandingly sharp. My technique was there all along. The only reason for my current postings is to let you guys know what you had missed and I had missed when I made that thread one year ago that prevented me from ever getting that ideally sharp edge ! It was immediate. No need to mention 101 of honing, setting a bevel with the lower grit before polishing with the higher ones. I don't give a damn ab semantics. Maybe I should start teaching honing myself because I had it all along, if it had not been for that one thing, it actually made me practise much more than needed to master this.

    "You are commenting on posts I made nearly a year ago. That discussion is obsolete. I have solidly mastered the technique since."

    A year ago? You just joined the forum in July and started this thread when you joined. AND now you are a 'Master'?

    "Maybe I should start teaching honing myself because I had it all along, if it had not been for that one thing, it actually made me practise much more than needed to master this."

    Good idea. Make some YouTube vids and we can all watch them...

    I think Steel says it all: Good night...and Good Luck!
