Dash I received a Le Grelot from the same source. I have had my razors honed by many people and they do not meet my standards for sharp. I have a tough beard. It took a bit of work to get the Le Grelot to HHT but it need to be there or I will not use it. The Le Grelot is very hard steel and it took a bit of work to get the thing where I wanted it but you should not expect it to do the job for you till you finish it down to 0.5 paste at the very least, and I use a 0.25 paste to get it where I wanted it. I am getting shaves that are unbelievably close and they are very smooth.
