    And I only voted No because I don't hone right now. I have honed my own in the past (with some guidance) and have every intention of doing so again in the future. But for the time being, I have edges that work and a couple of sharp razors that get the job done.

    It's interesting to see such a huge majority honing their own razors.

    I wonder how reflective that 96% is of the SRP community as a whole?

    That's a very good question...perhaps I should have added a third option!

    I remember reading a piece of trivia about HAL, to totally hi-jack the thread...when Kubrick approached the computer company about using their name, they balked and refused...didn't want their name associated with a whacked out computer...so Kubrick just brought the letter back one in the alphabet.

    IBM became HAL...

    Hal must be the reason I hate talking computers.

    I want one of these Stark razors just to see if they really hone themselves when told to.
