As well as the learning curve that is involved in becoming an expert hone and stropper. It merits the respect of societies most concerned for the enviroment. It basically demands to make better more independent people out of us all. In the adventurous journey to that finest most comfortable shave. Is this a little much I Think Not! For these skills that are honed out within ourselves are all the more applicable in other areas of our lives. The search for perfection, For satisfaction, endurance, art of sensitivity. "WHERE'S MY RAZOR!"
Well said! Now as soon as I get my tax return and get my razor professionally honed before I start, I am on my way.

The pursuit of the simpler times, the seeking of a deeper zen-like quality to something as simple as shaving, yet as meaningful and soul-searching as any spiritual journey. Truly, straight razors are Zen.
If its gold brother it's happen'in looks great! Is it me or can Obama just not say Freedom! I don't get it. Nick' The Zen is so true. Nice!
