    Nope. More of a craft.

    I'd agree with what has already been said. A reasonably intelligent individual should be able to learn to hone. It is a fairly long and frustrating learning curve to get a decent consistent handle on it, usually. Same applies to learning to get a consistently decent shave from a straight razor. Neither is rocket science but then if it was easy why are there a large number of posts from noobies have trouble with shaving with a straight razor or getting a good edge on a blade?
