If a hone can't give you that it is either you or the hone. Sprays can mask for deficiencies but if you want to consider pure results it can be done with no sprays.
I agree 100% with you. I get better edges from the Zulu and the turis now than I did a year ago. Sometimes the edge is so good, I don't want to mess with sprays, afraid I ruin it, but other times, the edge is good, but I feel that by using sprays I can make them better. Not every body has the depth of experience as you and others here.

You don't know for certain if the stone gave all it has to offer (mos probably is the honer), but why deny yourself of a better edge by using sprays. So, sprays cover a multitude of sins! Then I ask for forgiveness and enjoy a guilt free shave. LOL!
