Well...obviously the hones tell you more about the steel, so in that respect I agree with you Glen. But like Birnando said, sometimes ( not often) a razor feels great on the hones, the steel seems to take a really great edge, and then the shave is less than spectacular. Overall though...I will concur that if you have a good feel for the hones and the razor moving across it, then the hone test will tell you if you've got a great shaver or not as a general rule.
