Never heard of Ross Cutlery. But why take the advice of a cutlery shop over a group that is dedicated to straight razors?

I would like to think the combined knowledge of the people HERE would FAR surpass that of someone at a cutlery store.

Not saying they are TOTALLY wrong, but I would personally take the advice of people that specialize in a field over someone else.

Just my feelings

I hope they got your razor good and sharp

I certainly realize you haven't heard of that place, so I'd recommend you do a search at the place you trust i.e. this forum and see what you learn.

Generally I dislike dogma, and I'm of the opinion that if somebody has honed and shaved with a straight razor for years they can't be all that bad. So if they are willing to spend some of their time and share what they know with another guy, that can't be a bad thing.

I'm all for combining knowledge as you can infer from my post count and my wiki contributions, but a forum on the internet is definitely not a hands on experience.
