As soon as I got a decently sharp straight razor I put the Track II down for good. Working at it with the straight is slowly covering all the bases and limiting myself to that tool is making me consider new techniques. It is still a challenge in one or two spots to get that perfectly smooth feel against the grain, but it's so slight and so small an area now that nobody can tell, but me. When my gal commends me on my smoothness, I don't bother telling her about my self criticism. She's happy. Let her think what she likes.
