I have sharpened things since I was around 11 or 12, my grandfather taught me how and I always loved knives and sharp things. I went on to work in a packing house after I got out of the Navy cutting up 4000 hogs a day. Without bravado, I kept one of the sharpest knives in the plant and taught alot of guys how to do that. That being said, a razor takes a completely different skillset to hone. The only advantage is that kinda like Forrest, 'I know what sharp is...'. You know what sharp is, but half the fun is learning how to get there with different hones, strokes, and techniques.
