Getting the technique down on the two styles should keep you busy for a while, if nothing else! Good luck. I'm starting to hanker after a japanese razor.

Congrats ! BTW, always do the TPT first, if the edge passes the TPT don't do the
TNT. That is for checking when setting the bevel. If the edge is sharp it doesn't do it any good. The TPT is fine for that. Shaving is of course the ultimate test. As far as the HHT it is nice if it will pass that but IME not necessary for a decent shave. 
Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

You are already off to a good start Jim! The lack of humility is the one thing that keeps most people static in their learning, but judging by your post you have humility in spades!! Originally Posted by JimR

Ah, but also remember moderation in all things, including modesty IMHO. I always remember this exchange from the old Batman TV series: Originally Posted by JimR

Thank you for the compliment, Felix. I personally feel that hubris is the worst vice, and the root of all ills."Gosh, Batman you must know EVERYTHING!"Not a hint of false modesty there!
"Actually, Robin, there are several things I don't know."
