Hi Bruno,
I remember being horrified by watching 'plexuss' (the youtube straight shaving guy) during his honing tutorial running his thumb along the blade thinking he must be insane. I had routinely tested kitchen knives by 'plucking' the blade across the blade with my thumb to get an idea of sharpness, but never along the blade.
It was only when I started this whole honing thing that I tried this out and blow me, you can do it without cutting your thumb and it actually gives a great sense of how thin and smooth the blade is. It's a very very light touch.
Try it, and decide for yourself is what I think
