Now lets look at this "basket of 100 razors" that you have just honed & need to return (remember: you are returning 100 razors to individuals who have "saved every penny they could" to buy that razor). The razors arrive probably a few days later (it takes at least a few days to hone 100 razors :) )
Out of the 100 owners, waiting with a few days of growth, at least 20 are pissed to see the special engraving you have given their razor.
Out of the 20; 8 to 10 of them are not happy with the "I'm too poor to buy a note pad." excuse you give them.
Out of the 8 to 10; 4 become verbally abusive to you.
Out of the 4 verbally abusive owners, at least 1 tries to kick your a$$.
This is an example of 19th Century Logic.
Remember , (no priority mail either!) to send a complaint to the Better Business Bureau.:shrug:
On top of this example of 19th Century Logic, I just cannot relate the fractions that Tom showed us, with dates. Also to what advantage would a "honing date" be to the honer, when it's returned sharp, he's paid; whether it was last honed a week or month ago.
