    Just to make it as clear as mud some research done suggests that the edge can be honed to the same or similar thickness as a DE blade. In this study he uses a Gillette DE blade. Google or search here for Verhoeven paper. Here is an excerpt from it.

    "Measurements of the edge width averaged out at 0.4 microns, which was essentially the same as found for the Gillette blade"
    What a curse be a dull razor; what a prideful comfort a sharp one
