i can hone some of my razors to give a pain free, but not totally bbs shave. some of them are very frustrating. lately i've been using a King Cutter a lot, and i have to wonder if i'm still coasting on the edge dylan put on it, but that was almost three years ago. the other day i tried honing a Bengall and the stabilizers got in the way. i didn't even try to shave with it. i'll try again.
