If you ever hear from the 1000 razor man who has experimented, I'd like to know what he has to say. it seems to me that those people haven't done a lot of experimenting all these years or we would know something about it, or they could at least answer our questions.
The influx of new, curious and interested people is probably a good sign for this art. The veterans have their techniques grooved and may not be as motivated to experiment. I would love to see the experimenters report back here and it would be great if they could receive the feedback and encouragement of the veterans.
I just got an Ebay razor that I'm going to try to restore entirely with circular honing. We have some people trying linear honing. None of this is anywhere near ready for shaving. Before I did that I would want to understand what the edge looks like. I'm not keen on sacraficing my skin. You said yourself that shaving is the final test.
In short, I'm thrilled to see so many people interested in the science of honing, even if they're not experts. I hope they will all keep at it and report back here. They would be performing a new and valuable service for our community.
It would also make this site the repository for answers that can't be found anywhere else.
