Thread: Rating razor quality poll

So those of you that hone razors especially those that have honed many different razors...

Opinion ???

Something that I read quite often is people that really only know a razor by how it shaves,,, rate said razor.
Now myself, I feel that is simply one aspect of that razor personally,,, I learn way more about the razor from honing it..
I can tell so much more about the overall quality of the brand when I am pushing it across the stones..

So is this just me or do you also judge the quality of the razor not only by how it shaves, but even more so by how it got to that shave..


Poll above:


I guess it is pretty obvious that if a razor doesn't hone well it won't shave well
