Do the scales play any part in how this razor feels to hone or shave? Do the thumb notches that make honing and stropping more difficult come into play? At the end of the day, I like the razors that shave the best and those are the ones I have come back to and stayed with over the years. As I think about this, most of the best shavers hone up fairly easy unless damaged or badly worn. That said, the looks of the razor may play into how much I like it personally as well. Razors with a lot of wear or uneven wear are harder to hone usually. Most, if a quality razor will get there. I hone razors almost ever day of my life and have for a long time, and really the question put forth here has never been one that I have thought about beyond what I have already said.......... I kind of put this in my blindfolded tell me what stone I honed this razor on test..........

Sorry but a little lost on the point here.

Have fun.
I think you have it, Lynn!
