Not a Honemeister edge,but a comfortable edge.
But I hated honing because I am a perfectionist,I want the finest edge the top pros can create,nothing else will do.
The blades in my rotation only need to be honed every couple yrs at most,I just send them out a couple at a time.

I saw your ad and was really tempted to sell a gun or something to get all those hones.

Sounds like me. I'm always buying, selling, trading! Haha. As for honing, I've learned from mrsell that getting that bevel set on your 1k (or 4k if you have the time) is the most important part. The rest is fine tune/polishing the edge. Your razor should feel very sharp before moving towards the 8k or 12k+....
