Thread: Hone Clubs?

We're trying, Pyment! But I guess we'll be calling it "Frankonian" though.
Now lets see which threads can do for the new sub forum.

Not to spoil your hone party, but as indicated previously, there just might be a database for those hones in the Wiki shortly. Now, there obviously is not too much of a story to tell about Nortons, but for natural stones, articles like these seem more useful than a number of threads in a sub forum: Belgian Hones - Straight Razor Place Wiki. YMMV, of course, but please consider the advantages of having knowledge in one, easily accessible place (read: Wiki) - as opposed to news and discussions, for which forums were initially invented.

Robin, just because I am a HADdict doesn't mean I think more is better. But in this case it is. I am all for a data base on hones in the Wiki and I for one will contribute to it when time permits but that doesn't preclude a sub forum for hone freaks either. The SRP Wiki razor data base doesn't supersede the razor clubs sub forum. To some of us a rectangular slab of sedimentary rock is as beautiful as a mint Goldedge.

... and another one just opened
Vote with your feet, guys!

((( hehehe Robin, redst Du aaa auswädds? )))

Excellent. To clarify: The Wiki and the forums are, obviously, not mutually exclusive. However, both do some things well, and others not so well. Forums are, in my personal opinion, good tools for the exchange of news and opinions. They are not very good for storing, and making available, aggregated information. The Wiki is the exact opposite. Using the forum to gather information, and then compile it in a Wiki article, is how I would go about this subject matter. Add to that the Wiki database, and you should be all set.

Mind you, this is my personal opinion which I am not trying to impose upon anybody. Not really, that is.

forgive me Robin, that just struck me as funny. BTW, I don't disagree with your contention but I'd still like to see the additional sub forum. As Old School said it will either sink or swim based on participation.
