YUP you are truly hard core, I whined around for awhile about spending 177 on the timber tools Thurrigan,and that was a huge improvement to what I already had(Norton's,and a C12,and a coti bout. But you are DEFINATLY the guy to ask, are they all different, and are some not really good for razors,something you can only know after using them,and if so which ones would you have not bought if you could go back and do it over?
Thanks
