Having more expensive tools does not make you better. It is like the weekend hackers on the golf course using a set of titelist clubs and hitting pro v1s into the woods.
Ben, I'm not saying that it makes you better to have a better strop.. I'm saying the CAUTION makes you better. Or at least makes you less likely to fail.

Also, I'm not saying that if you don't expect to nick it you won't... I'm saying that if you DO expect to nick it, you WILL.
