Thread: Giving Back...

Mods-
I wasn't sure what forum to put this in, please move it to wherever you think it best fits.

All-
Since joining in early 2009 this forum has been a tremendous help to me; the term 'blessing' may well apply. It has fostered a better way to shave, friendships, a new hobby where I can combine my love of restoration with my newfound love of razors, and introduced me to a large community of some of the most courteous, generous people I have ever met. (I'm on a lot of forums. Most of them feel like a melee. This one feels like a conversation.)

Anyway, I want to give something back...

I'd like to rescale a razor for someone. It could be anyone, but I'd especially love to do this for someone who has been in the forum/hobby for awhile and has a good blade they'd like dressed up but otherwise couldn't afford.

I don't have the time to do any major restoration on the blade, but I could tumble/polish it up if they wanted. I also can't offer a shave-ready blade back (unless it comes to me that way and doesn't need tumbling) as I lack a set of bevel-setting hones.

I will be home on break from this Saturday until next Wednesday. If you got the razor to me by Friday, You'd have it back in a week.

Let me know if you're interested!

Wow, that's a wonderfull offer! This place is the greatest!

I'm just going to 'bump' this, now that it's forum prime-time. Don't want it to get lost in the paper heap, so to speak!

That is very nice of you. Wanna do my Griffon that has no scales ?

BK, this is great!

Thanks, all! I have a number of prospective recipients now from this thread and PM's. I will let all of them know their standings soon.

Thanks for all the support, and I'm sure I'll be looking to help out again in the future.

Hey all!
Just wanted to show what came of this thread:

I'm awfully glad I could give something back.... and am sure I will be doing so again before too long.
