A Real Pal
Sharptonn was my first buddy from SRP. Over the past few years we've kept in touch and he's always been a wealth of knowledge and a mentor of mine. I knew from several conversations that he was really into smiling blades. Before I knew it there was a priority box in my hands from Mr. Tom W. In it was a handsome John Heiffor Sheffield in bone. The razor was honed and ready to shave so I took full advantage.
After a silky shave, my email to him was pretty much a plea to purchase this fine shaver. He replied, "It's YOURS!" It was a gift to me from sharptonn, one cool cat!
Now smiling edges are my next conquest. Here's a pic of my lovely gift. SRP is a community of outstanding individuals! This is just one story that's confirms it!!!

Well, ya know he struck again last week. Had a PM from him. Message saying he had two razors, one had my name on it. First of all you have to know that I am the guy that buys the losing ticket so the guy after me can buy the winning one. Well, I had my choice of a Gotta and an Eyre. What else could I respond with other than, "I don't have a Gotta so I gotta geta the Gotta." I believe he responded with. "Gottacha." Then he tells me its a bellied hollow - the only grind I didn't have in my rotation. It arrived Friday and the morning shave was like listening to a lyric soprano it shaved so sweet.
Thank you Tom, I am in your debt. Find a woman shaver for the Eyre named Jane."The sharpening stones from time to time provide officers with gasoline."

Yup, sharp is good people for sure, definitely one person id go out of my way for, as he has done so for me In the past.
PS. Sharptonn would probably chime in but his head is probably too big to fit through the doorway now to get to his computer with all the compliments going on haha

Naaa, Dennis! Razoring is my main hobby. I enjoy it. Nice to help one another and Keep it going, whether paying it forward or giving advise. Glad you fellas are liking the razors. I have collected a long time. I had rather pass some out to worthy individuals than dump on the bay. Parts and pieces we all need are important as well! One man's trash......
Let's all send stuff to one another as needed. Good, established members. Aspire others to do the same. Those who come to this forum in order to take and not give shall prove themselves to all fast. Those who come in the learning and giving spirit will stay. JMHO"Don't be stubborn. You are missing out."
I rest my case.
