As I posted last night, it doesn't have to be that way. BTW I don't understand it either....

I'm going to go out on a limb here, if anyone cares to follow me. Here at SRP we recommend that newbs only buy SHAVE READY blades from REPUTABLE vendors. No one will dispute that. Now, say a reputable vendor sells Gold Dollars. Said vendor will no doubt sell that razor shave ready. Let's also assume that he cares about his clientele, so he has weeded out the bad from the good, leaving good newb razors at a cheap price.

Now, also imagine that a newb arrives at SRP. He asks all the usual questions about what razor to buy, how to keep it on the cheap, etc. He knows from lurking here that shave ready is the way to go, and someone recommends him the aforementioned reputable vendor. With all negative factors eliminated, the newb goes on to buy the Gold Dollar.

So, my question is what is wrong with that?

So as long as a newb is doing his homework, buying from a repuatable source and NOT e-bay/amazon etc and not having to deal with all the corrective honing, why is this so controversial?

BTW - We have all done our best to hijack Blix's thread, and for that I must apologize. I think we should all let him have his thread back....
