I quite like the term, though. The term "honemeister" edge, which is often used to describe the same effect, is grossly misleading. There is one Honemeister, and it seems that the humorous part of the term seems to have got lost in the sands of time. Then there are commercial honesters cashing in on the mythical shaving experiences only to be made with razors that have passed... uhh... I forget - what is the madness du jour? Is it still "JNat's"? Are we back to hone progressions with a minimum of 7 hones? Are strop progressions still a thing?

I digress. I like the term connoisseur because it denotes two things. One, the blade has been manipulated to match the specific taste of one individual. Two, they are expensive to obtain, and impossible to maintain for anyone but a proficient honer.

Thing is, I have never been able to maintain a honemeister/connoisseur edge for more than three shaves. After that, it would have been "back to the hones". I am, however, lazy, and get perfectly acceptable shaves with a shave ready razor. Think "SE blade after four shaves". Not killer, but still smooth.

That Revisor? If I had received one like it, I would have sent it back, end of story. Revisor have outstanding customer service, and that blade clearly should not have hit the market in this state. Never seen one like it, and I don't think I ever will, though.
