No, you just learn to cope better.

Reason I measure my stuff by the pound is so when the wife says "HOW MANY OF THOSE THINGS DO YOU HAVE NOW?" I respond with "oh about thirty or so I guess." Originally Posted by Theseus

No, it doesn't fade and Yes, you've gone mad. Instead of fading, the madness just becomes background and looks to you like what everyone else experiences as "Reality." Originally Posted by aseidman62

A fine-grained barber hone will put a nice edge on an _almost-sharp_ blade. They're not "grit rated", but the coarse ones are rumored to be about 6K. The "Almagamite" hone I have is certainly finer than my Norton 8K, and is very handy. Originally Posted by aseidman62
I've also used lapping film. If you can get it fine enough, and put it on a flat surface, it'll do a nice job. I think 5 / 2 / 1 micron film would be a good progression.

Yes, you have gone mad. But, lucky for you, so have the rest of us on SRP. I like to think of it as sensible madness. Originally Posted by aseidman62

Wife: What's that?
Me: It's 100% vegetable glycerin. I got it online because I couldn't find it in any of the local pharmacies. I even had the pharmacists look behind the counter for it, but they couldn't find any.
Wife: That's because no one uses it--only wierdos like you.
