Awesome thread!

While I don't agree with all of it, I salute the spirit of it!

I do agree somewhat with the tenent of #1- get your razor as sharp as you can before shaving. For me, this doesn't mean honing every time, but maybe a few laps on a pasted strop perchance.

Why put up with pulling and a lousey shave when you can simply throw a real nice edge on there?
