Very true and I think that this may be why some don't like them and others find them to work great. On my Dovo, my arkie works fine and will improve a coticule edge but on an older solingen razor that is prone to chipping I have found that the arkie doesn't really do anything for it, atleast not in the amount of laps that I consider the edge worth it.
