Yes, they do. I've learned alot about honing off them. I have no reference to honing a quality razor just yet, but when I need to hone my Solingen ERN Razor some day I'll probably be suprised how easy it is to hone. I bought the ERN off a german forum user for very little and use it as a reference for keeness. I'm proud to say that it doesn't shave better than my GDs. Still I would recommend to get a used quality razor over a GD, if money is tight and you are not into projects like mine.

Best wishes,
