I have been offering free honing for a few months now. I ask people to describe their razors before I send mailing information primarily to weed out two types of razors that I don't want to hone, namely Japanese style razors with which I have no experience, and crap razors on the SRP "do not buy list."

I have just been asked to hone a Sweeney Todd razor. Now, I'm pretty sure that a $12 Sweeney Todd razor sold on a website that also sells Wolverine claws is probably not going to be a great shaver, but out of curiosity I'm still willing to hone it for free.

I'm wondering, has ANYONE bought a Sweeney Todd inspired razor that actually shaved even adequately? It's unfortunate that a movie (that I have not seen) so focused on straight razors could inspire so many people to buy crap razors that I would presume to guarantee that they will never consider using a straight razor ever again. Again I'll ask, has anyone encountered a Sweeney Todd razor that was functional?

I'm wondering if perhaps Sweeney Todd razors might be added to the Do Not Buy list?
