    In theory it could happen. There are so many variable to razors that it may be faster to do it by hand in the end.

    So then the honing machine thinks? Is self aware? And what would it do for entertainment while not honing? Think, I suppose...

    Yes HAL....

    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.
