I think the razors I hone are pretty good but I've never had anyone else try them. Unfortunately the sources I compare them to besides the one that was honed on the JNat aren't very reputable. So what may be good to me, may be terrible for someone more experienced. This will hopefully give us a better starting point to build on.

I'm think you misunderstood what was clear to me in Marty's post. He is not ctiticising the Jnat, he is saying it is not just buying the stone that will improve your honing.
An analogy would be you can drive a Ferrari but you are not Michael Schumaker.
