So before I abandon this quest for data (I am an engineer, I like data. Data tells me stuff), I want to be clear about the purpose for gathering the data.
I am not trying to remove the enjoyment of the ride. Many many posts in the forums have delt with aligning timeframe expectations for beginners from beard prep to honing. And they reason timeframes get posted is because beginners want to know if they are on the right track or not. I clearly remember the beginning honer being told that your not even beginning to learn until you're honed 1000+ razors. That provides an expectation.
proper expectations can help people keep motivated and remove discouragement.
I don't know if the granularity of the data is too deep or not, and I realize some people just don't remember because its been too long. But it was a place to start.
If nobody wants to do this that is fine too. I still think trending data is valuable.
