The cool thing about sharpening razors for me (rather than knives) is that I actually get to use use the new edge every day for a real chore. All I ever did with my sport knives was test the edges. I can carry a Spyderco or Benchmade around for months without needing to use one. But I shave every day, sometimes twice! So that is a chance for daily edge sharpening gratification.

Also, those obsessively sharp knife edges are mostly for bragging rights. They're not really pratical for daily use unless you are a Japanese chef. But a razor sharp razor is just the norm.
You can also use your Spydercos and Benchmades for shaving. They just need a 15-18 degree bevel (included). It takes some good technique to get them as sharp as a straight razor though, since they lack the angle-setting spine.
