I asked him "How the heck do you know if yer getting any better if you don't test shave"

To the op, I am not making fun of you, the term "Practice Razor" just took me off guard
When i started honing i did use a practice razor that i purchase locally a beat up W&B with a large chip, i breadknife that razor then used it to learn different strokes on the hones, go forward a few months turns out that the practice razor been part of the rotation ever since and shaves like any good old Sheffield razor.
