    I'm just hoping that the particles in my razor don't go moving anywhere real far away. I'm going to need the darn thing tomorrow.

    Sounds like a lot of hogwash , and double talk , to me . I can't really make heads or tails out of what the person is saying , but I think the gist of it is that instead of a 7 day set , you need a 20 day set of razors .

    I think he's referring to the quantum physics side of honing.

    If the honemeister was Schrodinger we would have to accept that the razor was both honed & not honed simultaneously.

    Excellent! My RAD has been justified by Scientific American!

    It was in original condition, faded red, well-worn, but nice.
    This was and still is my favorite combination; beautiful, original, and worn.
