    Once you become taken in by this stuff you become a slave to it and wind up on and endless road to find the ultimate.

    Happily I never fell for all of that. Har har.
    Sadly when we go far enough down the acquisition route many of us learn that we have gone too far... even though some of my razors seem better off the shapton 16k & 30k really they are not all that much better than off my old reliable coticule. and somedays i wonder what all the stone and plate fascination was all about. one lives and learns.
