There are many qualities that contribute to a razor being quality or not. The quality of the shave is a result. A poor razor might give a great shave however it usually won't give many shaves before needing work.

One of the first razors I got was a TI Damascus and it was not shave ready and it took months of on and off honing with the hones I had back then to get it shave ready. But the effort required to get it honed properly was not because it was a poor quality razor. In fact it was a very high quality razor. it was more a combination of what I had at the time and my limited honing experience and the hardness of the steel that caused issues. I'm sure if I had to do it now things would be different but it still would not be "easy" to hone.
