In a blind test I don't think I could tell the difference. No expert, and there are definitely differences in hardness etc. But I do think it is the person honing the razor that makes the difference.
Yea, I don't believe it would be worth the effort myself either. I have razors from 6 different countries and if you can put an edge on them they all shave damn near the same and that is very well. Personally I have not come across any "magic" steel" in any of them.
