another thing to note here is personal preference. some people enjoy the feel of an edge off an 8k, other 12k, other coticule, other 30k, others pastes. every person likes a different feel. add on top of that every person has different hair thickness.

there are so many variables that go into it that no 2 razors will be the same and no 2 people will feel the same from the exact same razor.

i think that a honemeister gives you a blade that feels good to his personal shave. that doesn't exactly mean it will be 100% perfect for your shave.
