Thread: Honing/Stropping experiment

I've never seen a Swedish razor that wasn't a good one. Can't speak about the GD as I've never had one.

Whenever I read of someones good result, so long as it is something I am interested in, it helps in any re-examining my bad result.

I just didnt have much luck or confidence in palm stropping/

all i can say is I've tried it a few times. It may take a determination to get it to work for me, and i would love for it to work.

Does the scientificest method really apply here with regard to razor experiments? I remain unconvinced. 2 razors of the same brand could still be vastly different. the bias of any participants and the subjective nature of any evaluations eliminate most fact finding. These test can prompt us to make our own go, perhaps give up some bias that has held back success.

Ha ha... no it doesn't (at least in this case). When I started this, I had no intention of doing anything for any reason other than my own fun. I use the term "experiment" in the same way that I might experiment with different pizza toppings I'd never tried before.

And hey Jimmy, if you ever want to try a GD () let me know... I'm not too worried that you'd be trying to keep it .
