Thread: Razor Sharpened on Coticule Not Sharp Enough

IMO, nine times out of ten, you can take any blade, as in the case with the GD's, and give it to an expert honer, and you will get a smooth BBS shave and a perfect edge. In the same instance, take a top of the line blade, and give it to an inexperienced honer, and you'll end up with a crappy experience and a compromised blade edge.

IMHO, it's the honer, not the hone, nor the blade....that makes all the difference.
