Will one hone my razors for me magically? That's what they claim on the bay. 
if so, I'm off to eygpt.

when I saw the title I thought you must of been lurking at some other site for honing tips.

Yeah I remembered seeing stuff on here about pyramids with different numbers of strokes on different stones but I much prefer the eBay option of simply leaving my razor under a pyramid and then doing the HHT to see how it goes.
Who knows, unless someone here actually admits to having tried it then we can't prove that it doesn't work. Those pharoes certainly knew stuff we took hundreds of years to find out - I think it's the alien influence, I've seen Stargate the movie.
OK, move on nothing to see here.
I just put my soap box away.

Mythbusters did an episode on that (razor under a pyramid thing). Kinda funny.
So they busted it? Damn...
*stops making the plans for a giant crystal pyramid straight razor storage case*
Here I thought I'd not need to work on perfecting my stropping technique, after all.

Damn you myth busters. And I suppose that they are gonna tell me next that you can't really catch a bullet between your teeth - now that will be good to see! I want the one that wears the beret to catch it.

Oh not you can catch the bullet but you can only do it once.

They checked that one too, though I forget the result.
Of course they will. Just pay the ticket for me, and I will hone all your razors sitting on one of the piramids while drinking cold beer.

Ok, but only if you bring along the one you lent to Doc!
I make my own beer so it's not a problem - even have a cooling system for my pump, chills to about 4 degrees. That OK for you?

Finally something interesting...BEER!
Busted bigtime.
Impossible to react quickly enough to close your jaw
Impossible for human (or pig) jaw/teeth to stop the bullet
They were marginally successful in catching one using a steel jaw, clamping force greater than a grizzly, and electronic timers.
It stays colder if you store it under a pyramid, btw... hehe

Well, the razor that Doc tried it isn't sold yet, and I like 4 degree cold beer a lot, so we can head out to see some camels!
I remembered faintly something about steel jaws...thanks for the reminder.
Would that be the site with only 5 responses to all questions?
1) The answer to that is in our library...go check it out.
2) Send all razors out to be honed by one of our honemeisters...you can't do it yourself.
3) Buy all razors from us. Stay away from ebay, it's all junk and anyway you wouldn't be able to find the good stuff.
4) The answer to that varies too much and can't be answered.
5) That question has already been asked. Try the search engine.
I call this the "unhelpful 5"
Pyramid honing? I tried it. Not for me. It needlessly complicates a fairly simple process without delivering results to justify the gimmickry.
