This may be the case, and as I mentioned it was not a knock on the vendor or the razor. As I mentioned previously in this thread, I have very sensitive skin and need a razor that isn't just sharp, but smooth as well. The striations left in the ege were indicative of a somewhat unrefined edge. It was better than those I have seen out of the factory at, say, TI, but was not a pro-hone. Look...I get it...if I am a razor MANUFACTURER selling at a certain price point, I am not going to spend an hour additionally producing each blade and not pass that along to the customer. To keep the price down and to remain profitable, getting a good start on the edge is what makes sense. Some people may have found that with some paste and stropping that the edge might be fine for them. It just wasn't right for me.

Taken another way, I at least touch up just about every blade I get regardless of who touched it. Thus far there has been only one exception.

I took the razor for a test drive last evening and it shaved like a dream. It is a wonderful shoulderless blade and took a fantastic edge. Worth every penny.
