that's probably true. Richard mentioned in a post below that it takes longer to remove wear from the back of an iron than I suggested. I looked around my shop at lunch and couldn't find a cutter that has significant wear on it. It's not something that I generally do (put a plane away with a heavily worn iron, or take a heavily worn iron out of a plane dull and put it on a shelf).
But, I haven't brushed my teeth yet today.
If the teeth get too bad, I know that I can kick it up a notch and really strip a good solid layer of gunk off of them with dursol, though.
Never knew how sticky toothpaste was and have made a note to never dry my mouth out with cotton balls and then attempt to use it on a dry toothbrush. phew.
I've only got two more stones to test that are finishers and that anyone would ever reasonably use, so the goofery is almost over!!
