Sezer74 said:Exactly m8, thing is these people(Neil,Mikael and Jamie and more) they know a great deal about razors, honing, sharpening, restoring and things like that, and personally i have a lot to learn and seeing them arguing like that is quite discouraging for less experienced razor enthusiasts. If they don't agree with each other and/or think they are wrong, no need to make it a big event. I am sure here nobody will suggest something wrong or harmful on purpose. I would like to see them all talking and exchanging ideas and opinions happily.
Hi I am Swiss and neutral,I will apologise of sorts for what appears like we are being discouraging but we are not, that I can 100% assure you of.
Straight razors are a very specialist subject that will require a life time to learn,and master.If you go down the straight razor road....learn you will. If someone posts some thing that is incorrect,there is a 99.99% chance of it being jumped on..... not to embarrass that person but to make sure the facts are correct, I pick no bones over it ,and have been put right quiet a few times myself, :blush: but I have learned by them.
We do not seek to discourage, but we do try to promote the use of these fine razors, it's ok to make misstakes, this is life learn.
This is in no way an opinion, nor a statement in any way,as I am Swiss....and neutral.
