Honestly from Dec 26th - Jan 31st at the least I ask every single person that contacts me for honing exactly what they have for a razor, before they send it out.. There are quite a few out there that get snapped up over Christmas that are what we call RSO's or razor shaped objects that will never take an edge...

Hope that helps, I am just trying to save you shipping
Here's what I have.

It's definitely got an edge. I was able to shave. It just wasn't a very close shave. And from what I've read, even if your technique is proper, a poorly honed blade won't give a close shave...
