Thread: Old razor, any hope of using it?

Welcome to SRP.
As you can see under my name I'm in Norway as well

Send me a PM here, and I'll find you a razor from my collection.
No charge, only happy to help a fellow countryman.

Edit:
Sorry, I forgot my manners there for a bit.
If you are anywhere near me, then we could do a little session of honing and general knife-geekery as well.
I must admit to being a knife-nut too.
Be it folders or kitchen knives or whatever

Birnando!

You have just re-instilled what I’ve found all along about SRP! And that is that members will bend over backwards to help those who are very, very new and also those who have been around but are struggling with one thing or another!

While I’d just sent the link to the Nordic section and offered to try to help this new member, I’m now humbled by your generous offer!

Thank you for all you have done and have now offered a new member! e:

BOOM! There you go all your questions answered and maybe you'll get taught a thing or two.

I do hope this new member can sit down with a more seasoned veteran to ‘learn’ and not be ‘taught’.

What Birnando has ‘offered’ but not ‘required’ is to try to show what he knows, he hasn’t ‘required’ that the new member sit down and be ‘taught’!

Being required to attend school is when you are ‘taught’ being invited into someone’s home to be shown the knowledge that someone has acquired is offering ‘learning’!!

Two years ago I accepted Glen’s (GSSIXGUN’s) invitation to a meet in Spokane Washington USA. I ‘learned’ more in those few hours than I had after a couple of years of reading and watching videos!

I like to learn; I don’t’ care to be ‘taught’!

I think it is semantics really. To learn a skill from someone means that the person giving you the information you are learning is in a sense a "teacher" and thus teaching you something and thus you were taught. Yes you learned which is the action of acquiring knowledge and taught is having given knowledge to someone. I.e. " I learned how to strop from (Insert Name Here)." and the person you learned from would say "I taught cudarunner how to hone a razor using a brick".

Wow, this must be the most friendly forum on the web!

Some good tips on how too handle my girl's hate of honing
The not honing tip are going too be hard too follow, already at it Understod that the honing process of a razor are somewhat more presise then on a kitchen knife. Don't realy understand why the japanese way of backstroking are so bad on a razor, even after all the posts on that. But I will probably learn after some trying and failing...



Honing and talking sounds like a good time, geting a razor also are too good!

Thanks for the warm welcome

Update: The scales on the razor broke of during my first try, got 3 cm of hair off first, but not an hasle free shave... But now it's totaly ruined:/ On the bright side the box it came in are kinda nice.

And I sent you an pm Birnando
