    Not weps related, lol but still. It is on Tom’s blog (Jende industries) and I think we can all learn a lot from these guys.

    Yeah, I remember that debate. Amazing how emotional and fierce, and how strong feelings certain people (and their gurus) can manifest when it comes to simply sharpening a razor. O__0

    My position in it was that I did it edge trailing and mostly agreed with Carter, and in the end I sent him a razor for sharpening. It came back very sharp and smooth, giving a really close shave only with one pass.

    Tom’s article on this is really good and balanced (as all his writings are). Especially considering all the trouble and hostility at the time.
