some people dream of a 100% perfectly sharp razor and are willing to try anything to get there. will they actually be able to tell the difference... in a blind shave test i doubt it.

but having spent most of the money, i stopped with a full set of shapton glass plates, i never got into the jnats or any of the later popular choices, i remember chasing the dream too. it was fun.
I said "gets YOU better". I meant the persons skills. A shaveable edge is not that hard to obtain. 1 hone and 1 strop is all you NEED. Need and WANT are two different things!
