I was dead serious when I said I would like to see this forum grow by leaps and bonds. I have an Idea that's about half baked so let me through it out here and see if someone can add some ingredients and heat the oven.
I see a lot of onlookers and think maybe they need just a little incentive to jump in. If we take it by reign or country or how ever (because shipping is so expensive) and offer a new comer to our sport on there first straight razor one free shave ready honing job. All it would cost them is the shipping to and from the person honing the razor. Now I don't know what it would cost in other countries but here in the USA cheap shipping is about 6.00 bucks one way. That would cost some one 12 bucks for a shave ready hone job. Surely there are enough of us that hone that we could do that once. maybe twice. Now keep in mind this is just a thought. I have them once in a while and not only is it dangerous it's also sometimes painfulo_O .
Now this is just one of my thoughts. How about ya'll. any of you folks out there thinking.

In Canada, tracked shipping with Canada Post is around CAD16-20 per direction (jump in Canadians if I'm wrong on this). It may be more coast to coast, I'm not sure. Crossing the border from the US to Canada usually involves added tax of 13% and significant delays. So Roger, rest assured I won't be returning my razor to you for a free honing job ;)
