    I have found that the only test that works for me is a shave test. Maybe someday I'll get to a meet and learn something that will help me learn proper bench tests.
    And I'm proud to be called Noob

    I'm Dutch and have thick skin, which is much better than having a thick skull like a Scotsman :D

    It's all good, Glen:). Jabbing each other is all part of the fun. I've learned a ton by all of you guys. As a rank noob, I've never once felt anything but help, advice and encouragement. I've never been offended by the guys here:)

    You are correct. But, at times, I can be a real Dumb Newb.
    No offense taken, Glen.

    Same as Newb. Someone inexperienced. But, at what point in this Straight Shaving game do you cease being a Newb/Noob?

    when you get a bbs from a vintage E-bay straight you have restored and honed yourself ??

    LOL. Poor attempt at a joke on my part! I figured that only a rank newbie would ever ask "what is a noob/newb".

    Great definition of graduation from "noob status", Bjoerge!

    Excellent definition. Bjoerge.

    Now, what's the definition of a "Honemeister"?

    someone who can deal with just about ANY blade issue capably and professionally without guesswork, stemming from expertise gained through years of experience. By this definition, there are very few who would rightfully earn and achieve this distinction.
