Thanked: 3215So, a year from now you will shave and wonder how you shave with an edge you produced today.
It is just experience, it takes a good year to learn to strop to the point where you are improving an edge. Longer to realize the difference, and longer to perfect it. Add learning to hone and to shave to the mix…
If you strop daily that’s only 365 time in a year, it takes a least 1000, perfect repetitions for good technique to become a habit. So, 3 years to just get a consistently good edge? Maybe.
Each day it gets better. Keep swinging.
