If I am stumped at why a razor won't get sharp and have no idea what to do I may look for any 'simple recipe' I can just follow and hopefully get it done.

If I am interested in becoming as good as Lynn and not be just a technician who follows a recipe, but can deal with any razor that comes my way, then what I want is to understand the process and the reasons for the various techniques. The hope is that when I get a challenging razor I will be able to devise a combination of different techniques or make a new one that addresses the unique set of problems of that particular razor.

Again, it all depends on one's objectives

Indeed. Out in the real world, some crazy razors are to be honed!

Indeed. Those which are unworthy seem to be swinging in the breeze!
