    I would rather keep all parties names anonymous as I don't know if different razors display different characteristics of scratch pattern, or if the stones dictate that.

    I would have to say if it was Pro honed that you should NOT be able to see ANY scratch patterns on the edge.

    Agree, all the razors that have been honed for me by well known members have been excellent. I have seen youtube vids of people honing gold dollar razors and having shave success with them. Now I don't know if the edge holds up for multiple shaves but does show that correct honing will produce a shavable edge, and if the razor is quality it should keep that edge with proper care.
