Met an old Cabinetmaker in Denver who changed how I sand

I was at a trade show in Denver last fall and this guy in his 70s showed me his trick for using a cork block with 220 grit for the final pass on face frames. He said most guys quit too early and that's why their finish feels rough after 6 months. Has anyone else tried skipping power sanders for that last step?

My power sander's retired now, it just collects dust like me.

I read this same tip from @caleb_gibson somewhere else and it made total sense.
