    WHAT?!?!?! There's a 90? Can't I just glue a couple of my others together and have an equivalent (or perhaps better)?

    Sometimes I really hate this place...

    Now my nightly strop progression of wool, linen, silk, #10000, #20000, #50000, #80000 and finishing on unicorn hide seems somehow inadequate.

    Hey you should get one of the frozen unicorn tear hones that are about 1,000,000,000 grit to go with the strop
    To clarify, my strop is a homemade roo leather one.

    I only throw the seal skin into the rotation on leap years. In 2016, it will be there. At the moment, I have it conditioning on a beach in the northern Pacific.

    I wish I had known about those tear hones before I slaughtered him for a strop, thanks for keeping that lil secret until it was too late, Ed. I did however get a very unique set of "horn" scales...

    I hope that seal skin only gets used on the 29th of feb, thats the only way you will keep the bad magic in check that gets created by the murdered unicorn horn scales.
    The only good unicorn tear hones are the ones created from the tears of happiness of baby unicorns, gathered on a full moon on a leap year on the 29th of feb and only if the year is a prime number.you must travel counterclockwise to the magnetc north pole and freeze the tears there under the same moon that they were collected under.
