not KNOWING the feel of the TNT or TPT I'm not sure it's right. i realize that may seems silly, but hey. i forgot about the TNT, honestly, but did use the TPT. someone described the TPT as tickling...i didn't get that all. so i'm not sure what that is supposed to feel like. with regard to shaving hair...affirmative. i certainly feel the razors could be sharper, but i have no hair on either arm now. so, maybe i did okay. also, i've only honed 6 so far and the fact that i can get them as sharp as i did makes me feel okay. i just wish i could acheive the result a little faster. in time and with more questions i suppose.

I do thank all of you. having never really been on a forum - you guys are truly very helpful folks. cuttin' the learnin'curve fer the newbies...gracias.
