I know this cuz I sent 2 razors to matt to have him fix the geometry on, and holy cow, those razors are outa control smooth. He is really good at doing very little grinding to set them up, but that does not mean you HAVE to have a perfectly set bevel to get a good shave, it just helps tremendously.
BTW: I've had blades from whippeddog, I had one from SRD and also 2 from Dr matt in my day. Dr Matt's edges are by far the best, that guy really has a knack for this so if your looking for a honing I can't recommend him enough, so fast too. he ships out like the next day!
