A certain Custom razor crossed my hones a few months back (no names but not one of the regulars on here)

The build was so far off that it took multiple layers of tape to bring the angle anywhere near 16° the spine had thickness issues besides that along with the face grind itself being uneven in thickness..

Now when I was done futzing with the whole thing it shaved like a champ

So if I went by the shave alone it was a good razor,,, but my adventures on the hones getting it there told me the maker was an amateur that had no clue what a true SR really was

That is about as good an example as I can give
