    Thumbs up

    Well said, I also agree with the degree of professionalism here, as the forum has been established around it.

    Now I will say we got a few tough guys here that will tell you how it is, in there opinion, and say its THE WAY. But I myself like a man that dont pull punches. Tells you the real deal and if your way out of bounds in your ideas, they will tell you your wrong. Others will do the same but in a nice way. I dont want to have someone hold my hand and be gentle when I'm wrong, but thats just me. So the guys that speak there mind are good with me! The others are good with me too.

    We have a great group of folks here and different kind of folks from different places. Its a great forum and I couldn't be happier with what I've been taught and have learned from others here.

    As Jerry has pointed out, there are those that aren't as subtle as others but I enjoy that as it reminds me of when my father would say "By GOD, when you're Wrong! You're Wrong! . I don't know if I'd be classified as one that wasn't very subtle but I can live with it if I am.

    One thing that I repeatedly tell non straight razor users about this forum is how amazing the diversity of the members backgrounds are. There are Barbers, Lawyers, Judges, Police Officers, Oil Field Roughnecks, Teachers, Grocery Clerks, Tattoo Artists and the list goes on and on. Hell at on time there was a Professional Archeologist and a Diplomat to India from the Belgium Government. All with a desire to use a straight razor.

    Another point of interest is how far and wide the membership spans. I have helped guys as far away from SE Washington State USA as the UK, Afghanistan, Puerto Rico, Guam, India and all over the USA and Canada.

    Something else that I feel is very important about our little community here and that is Friendships. There are many here that I truly care about happens in their lives, I've been blessed to have actually been able to meet some of them one on one. My life is far richer for those meetings.

    I hope your time here will be enjoyable.

    No Roy. In my opinion your one of the nice guys.
    But to be clear I like the harsher kind of guys too. They may be gruff but they are not over the top. If someone was just being an a$$ I'd say something to them in a PM. I've never had to do that. Like Roy, It reminds me of the ol' man jumping on me and correcting me when I needed it!

    I have to agree with everything said in this thread. I'm on only a couple forums now. But have been a member of many. This place has an entirely different caliber of men. Gentlemen. Not many places you can say that about, or a good percentage of men out there these days.

    Thank you all
