    Stranger, if you passing meet me and desire to speak to me, why should you not speak to me? And why should I not speak to you?

    I think it is, myself. I feel that way sometimes with my Burrell; thought it has its uses, ATG for instance.

    I think there is a small trade off between sharp and smooth. As sharpness increases smoothness can decrease. The trick is to increase sharpness while maintaining smoothness.

    I bet most guys would rate smoothness over sharpness. That is, if you said "You can have this razor sharper, but you'll lose smoothness", they'll say "lean towards smoothness".

    It's EXACTLY like my digital; camera; I can have it on Aperture priority or Shutter speed speed priority.

    I keep my razors dialled on to smoothness priority... :-)

    But I'm probably wrong, I'm the opposite of experienced when it comes to honing...

    I should say that it was the boots we stood in the bath overnight; not the recruits... :-)

    Tom, if I didn't know better, I'd think you like this razor (either that or you have a man crush on Max)!
