While picking through tools at one of my regular stops for rust hunting another gentleman struck up a conversation. We discussed our woodworking adventures. When told of my work being mostly with hand tools he expressed his inability to get planes to work for him. He said he couldn't get them to leave a smooth surface. My comment was, "sharp fixes most problems." He said he sharpened the blades on his grinder, then asked if he needs to hone them after that.
My reply was yes and then told him about how most of the time my blades will shave hair cleanly.
For another interesting take on sharpening:
