dylandog, did the professor sport a beard or was he clean shaven and therefore certifiably crazy!!! :roflmao:roflmao:roflmao:gth

Joe, I wasn't meaning to shout! I know that some take capital letters that way. In this case, I accidentally hit the Caps Lock key and by the time I noticed it, I didn't have the heart to erase...

Tony, I should have pointed out that I was speaking of replaceable blades. They are manufactured in very large quantities. No doubt this accounts for more money available for QC . That Dovo says...

ACTUALLY, I DON'T SEE ANY DEFECTS IN YOUR LOGIC. MANY COMPANIES HAVE MANUFACTURED STRAIGHT RAZOR BLADES AS WELL AS DOUBLE EDGE RAZOR BLADES THAT SHAVE SUPERBLY. NONE OF THIS CAME ABOUT BY CHANCE, ALL...

I think that we should get all the photos at any magnification that we can get our hands on. This way all of us can choose to use what we want. :)

Bruno, the idea of a sticky thread is very good. Would you volunteer to do it?

Tony, I know that you are excited about Tim's work. You, I and many others including Tim know that this is only the beginning and that much work needs to be done. Many of us have thought and wondered...

Tony makes excellent points, albeit from a rocket scientist!!! :) There is a theme in this post and in others that I believe bears clarification. The emperical is joined at the hip with the...

Swede, right on bro!!! I hope that we learn a bunch more from Tim. I've incorporated your advice to me, Illigitimi non carborundum, into my signature. Thanks for reminding me of what my Roman...

Ivo, to my knowledge, you are the first one of us to report on a shave test trying out the Belgian followed by the Escher technique. I'm going to try it out myself this weekend and will report my...

Your ignore list sounds delightful! And for the record, only I know if I know how to hone or not. Practice doesn't make perfect, it makes permanent, good practice makes perfect!!! :roflmao

Mparker, who are you to tell me how to interpret or not interpret data. I have a Ph. D. in Physical Chemistry and have dedicated most of my life to doing research. What are your scientific...

Bruno, what does this mean? How can you illustrate the stones apart from the results? It is the results that indicate the performance of the hones. Tim's experiments show clearly that the Belgian...

Well, in retrospect, maybe the world would have better off if Galileo had been burned at the stake!!! :roflmao

Mparker, thanks for the comment about my "youthful exuberence", at 63 I don't hear this enough!!! Scientists never lose the curosity of children. Tim, whether you were the first to see this or that...

I don't recall saying a word about invalidating anything. The photos do increase our knowledge and illuminate the way to improving our process hopefully making us better honers. As to the pastes,...

It turns out that Tony Miller and I were talking about doing a photomicrographic study of different hones just a few weeks ago. I even contacted a professor at a local university about having him...
