Bingo! I have owned shave ready razors by many of the aclaimed honemeisters, honed and sold many myself and contracted out honing on razors when I used to sell them. I would say in almost all cases any that I bought for myself in "shave ready" condition still needed work to shave me properly. All were extremely close but all were better after a little work.
