update.. please read

Hello gentlemen.. Hope all is well with everybody.. So this is an update on the post i sent out about Looking for a member.. The original post was about one of our members who advertises his honing service in member services here and how i sent in 2 razors and the $$ that was required for the return of said razors.. That was in June and i have not recieved those back nor has this member returned ANY of my emails asking about them.. 2 members who must have contact relayed my concerns to him and they said my razors will be sent out on monday.. That was 2 effing weeks ago!!.. Needless to say im beyond upset.. Ive emailed him saying all im asking is just to make contact with me and if something personal is going on, if they were accidently lost, broken, stolen, anything.. Just let me know and we can work it out no problem but zero response.. At my wits end and figure these razors are gone for good.. So this is a warning to any member or visitor that if you see this member in member services advertising honing (he's the only one in services) DO NOT send your razors out!!.. Im going to email mods to see if this is reason enough to ban him from advertising honing service and to take his mentor label away.. Sorry about this long post but i sent out 2 straight razors and $$$ for a honing service... I surely did not expect to never see my razors again... Scott W

Wow, I would never have expected to have heard this...

This is a shame. There is a lot of trust putting something of value in the mail to someone you trust will do right by you. I really hope this gets resolved the right way.

Thanks for the heads up, Scott.

Send them South to me, Scott. I shall hook you up. I don't charge anything.
If you need something to shave with, Let me know.

Too bad you lost the razors. It's hard to believe that Ron would do you wrong without a reason. I've been watching for him to poke his nose in here but haven't seen a thing. Even in special places. I'm really hoping something good come out of this. It's just hard to believe.

A good reputation is hard won. Unfortunately it is more easily damaged through just one incident no matter the reason. I really hope the situation gets resolved to your satisfaction.

Wow.! Never expected to hear that about a mentor, here.
Unbelievable..... Hope things get resolved for you.and this this never happens again, to anyone.

It happened to me when I first started. Sent a razor out and didn't hear anything about it. Took me about 2 months and had to travel to pick it up. I don't think it was intentional but it happens. Some times things happen for whatever reason and take on a life of it's own. I would not write them off just yet. What razors were they? They will find there way home. Keep the faith.

Hello fella's.. Believe me when i say that it is strange situation.. By all accounts Ron is a stand up, well respected mentor on this sight... Ive never met Ron nor had any contact before this and would not know him if he was standing right beside me.. The thing is that i have given him every opportunity to let me know of there is something in his life going on that is preventing him from getting in touch with me.. He has my email, PM, and phone #.. Like i said another member who knows him was kind enough to get ahold of Ron a few weeks ago and Ron told the member he would send them out 2 mondays ago.. So no miscommunication there .. The razors really mean little to me.. Ive given away at least a half dozen razors to members in the last year be it adding a razor that i dont use to another razor or shaving item that was bought from me, to giving away at least 3 to new members who didnt have a real straight yet.. Ive let members borrow my razors so they can see other grinds before them making a purchase.. Given items for auctions,etc.. I have plenty of razors and im lucky enough that losing 2 razors is not going to set my wet shaving back.. But there are a LOT of members who if they did lose 2 razors like this would not be able to continue SR shaving because of it... Im not going to hold any grudge or bad mouth Ron.. Not my style and as far as im concerned im done with the matter.. I just wanted to put this out there for a warning that this did happen and to keep that in mind if someone was thinking of sending razors out to be honed by him... Thanks for listening and thanks for any service offers... Scott W..

I have met Ron several times. I don't know what is going on. I just want to say that whatever is going on, it is not going to be malice on his part.

Scott. Please PM me with your address. I would be happy to send you a few razors to help you (and Ron) along?
I have a few....er....Extras! I will be certain they will shave too! ;)

Same here
I know he sometimes works an insane work schedule

I am sorry about this and I do understand your frustration with not hearing back despite many attempts to contact him.
I do not know what is the reason but I have known Ron for many years and I have found him to be honest to a fault and a very generous person. To be clear I am not making an excuse of any sort - this is no good and the honing ad has been removed.

I want to apologize for my own failure in this though.

Your first thread was certainly noted but I failed to follow up and check that it was resolved. I take full responsibility for this and I will make sure to stay on top of it from now on until an acceptable resolution. I don't have a time frame but I want to assure you and anyone reading this thread that many people are working behind the scenes to bring that to fruition. This is what our community has always done - we are here to help each other in any way we can.
I have been very encouraged and appreciate that you have approached this in this same spirit - out of looking out for our members.

The razors are now in the mail.

Hello gentleman... Thank you to all for helping me out on this and also filling me in on the details so to speak.. My post was not sent with malice in mind, I was both bewildered because of Rons good standing in this community and also frustrated . There is no reason to continue with this thread as it does not need anymore input.. Thank you all again for the help.. Take care, Scott W

Ok fella's... Trying to close this out but for some reason when i put in " Thread Closed" I dont have a tab to close it down on the bottom here... Any ideas? Thnx

It’s a shame things like this happen but there has to be a valid reason for not getting this service done but there also is no reson why pms and emails went unanswered on a paid service.

I try my best to do a 1-2 day turnaround but never more than a week total from the time I receive until the buyer gets his razors back

If you want a thread closed, you’ll have to get a moderator to do so.
