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.

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...

This is what happens; Google creates 'artificial brain' - and it immediately starts watching cat videos | Mail Online

I don't know what to say, I do refreshes, but I send out major stuff, where do I fall in the poll?

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.

That's where I am, just one refresh so far...just a coti, CroX balsa board and a leather strop board with some DOVO white / grey paste on the linen on another strop....
