    But of course my good man. Oh I wanted to be more clear about this, b/c when I was trying to learn the TNT "grabbing" was kind of vague in the descriptions. The blade will grab and not "sink in", it will grab and not want to move and you will feel it generating some friction across your nail when it does begin to move...but, FOR THE LOVE OF HOLY TAP DANCING JESUS, do not try to pull the blade to get it moving again (what i mean is some parts maybe sharper than others, so let us say closer to the heel may grab a bit then slide a little then the center of the blade may grab, and not want to move at all;the center is sharper than the heel that is where you don't want to force it to move), I just lift the blade up, re-wet the nail, get as close to that spot again as I can, then continue the test. Keeping that nail wet at all times is a MUST. Play with it, and with practice you will be able to tell what's going on with your bevel the second you pull that blade over the nail. Cheers!

    Mastering implies there is nothing more for you to learn of something... I prefer proficient enough to not totally screw it up.
