We've got 1/4 acre but about 67,000 miles of edging. It's like the fucking fjords over here. it takes me longer to edge than to mow.

Oh noes! there's some blades of grass overhanging the sidewalk... a tuft of grass by the tree... another by the mailbox.

Bravo!

This is what I use, about twice a summer, once the edges get over a foot or so. I spend maybe ten minutes on it each time. Perfect lawns are bullshit. My lawn looks 90% as good as a perfect lawn, and takes 10% of the work. You can get really close with the lawn mower.
