Thanks. I expect you will be right Grazor but I'm an optimist Ken, that has a "common sense, sound advice's feel to it. There is no replacement for experience, never has been in my (ahem) experience. I've already shifted my timeframe to years on this ... And I'm happy with that. Oddly, there is a bunch of experience I'll have to unlearn (or overcome anyway). Sharpening and reshaping knives, scissors and tools is usually a much more physical experience. I'm expecting to destroy a few razors. Not happy about that but there it is.
Job, yes, I think that's where it's ended up but we shall see. I've already told the chap who reached out to me, after my first evening reading on here. In many ways I'm looking forward to this even more now.
