First, thanks to all for the excellent information in response to my earlier question. And, yes, you've convinced me -- going to take the SR plunge.

Anyway, here's the question for the group. If I want to try the SR experience but I don't want to put the time into learning honing and stropping and other blade maintenance, would I be missing anything if I bought that Feather SR with the replaceable blades? I mean, I've read about the Feather blades elsewhere, and they are supposed to be among the sharpest things you can buy. And it seems like you'd get most of the SR benefit (minus the pleasure or work of blade maintenance, of course) using the Feather.

So does this choice make sense, or is it better to wait until I have more time and stick with a real SR, strop and honing tools? Thanks!!
