sharpness of a blade and the ability to utilize that sharpness are two different things. I have received 2 blades sharpened by Lynn. They are sharper than I can make a razor, but I don't enjoy the shave from them until they dull a bit. I suppose they are sharper than my ability to use them. When I hone a blade, it gets to an edge that I can use, and feel comfortable with which is quite a bit duller than Lynn's razors.
Just a thought.
