Just a short note to heap some praise on one of the members here.. Gary Haywood.
I've learned more about my coticules, various other stones and honing in general over the past few weeks under Gary's tutelage, than I probably learned on my own over the past year of just mucking about on my own!
Gary works his stones every day. I did also, but not to the extent that Gary does. He's always experimenting, trying new things, and putting new combinations together, and he has inspired me to do the same. I can honestly say that my shaves have improved and that my face feels better... And if it doesn't, I know how to correct it.. than at any time in the past!
Gary gives freely of his knowledge, but also makes his pupil feel competent to press on...and perhaps to try techniques they thought they were not capable of..
I don't wish to embarrass Gary, but his skills are second to none, but he also has great abilities to teach, and more importantly, to inspire one to learn..
I also need to praise this site, because without it, and all the good members, the progress I've made would have never been possible!
