So, after coming back to this thread after a few days, I feel I should mention a couple things.

First, I'm not doubting the claims members are making, but rather giving them the benefit of the doubt; This is the internet after all, you can claim whatever you want, but I'll leave it at that. And I don't want to turn this into another sharpness thread, or lack thereof thread. My edges provide comfortable shaves, so I shouldn't be complaining. BUT... they're not lasting for months or years like some of the accounts that have been posted very recently. I guess I'm shooting at par.....

Second, as for the maintenance issue, as rightfully pointed out by mparker762, he is correct. I was recovering from a late night when I typed my original post. I MEANT to say any maintenance outside of the usual linen/plain leather stropping.
