Razor Edge stuff - what to expect?

[thombrogan]

Unlike the all of the other BladeForums members, I'm slightly impulsive in obtaining and maintaining my collections. So yesterday, I called the fine folks at www.razoredgesystems.com for some sharpening guides and a book.

Will my outlook on cutlery maintenance be forever changed? Assuming I don't get any dumber than I currently am, will I finally be able to make my single-edged Applegate-Carebear hair-popping sharp?

Their test stick lets me know when I've done right by my Sharpmaker (though, some arm hair has to come off to check edges that look too shiny ), so I'm looking forward to great stuff.

What have your experiences been?

i would like to have the book. Anyone know of local stores that stock it. i.e. Books a Million, Barnes without having to pay shipping.

I really like the razor edge system. I started out by getting the book through ebay. I read it cover to cover and I found what they said about free hand sharpening to be true.

So then I ordered there small guide, wow!
I could not believe the differance a guide made. It worked just like they said it would.

I now have there guides, hones, edge tester, book, video and I'm looking to get there oak case now

thombrogan,
Have you gotten your razor edge items yet?
How do you like them?

Mississippi_Dave,
If your have a state library sytem, your local library maybe able to get you a copy from another library in your state.

Edited to add: Forgot I had the folding steel too. Works great. Be sure to try double beveling. I think the instructions for double beveling is for 4" blade and longer, but it works great on my 2 1/2" Spyderco Salsa
