    I think I was the first to disagree so now I'm going partially in the other direction. (I do that.)

    Ok, in the guy's defense, the bevel was fairly close to the stabilizer, which can be a sign of the blade being honed into the wider belly of the blade. As he stated, this would lead to a stiffer, and therefore different, shave. Also, he perceived the shape of the blade to have been honed to the point where what he thought was a rounded over oblique had lead to the elimination of the rounded part. In other words, I think he mistakenly projected a toe shape onto this razor that it never actually had.

    These were easy assumptions to make. I objected to them mainly because in my opinion the hone wear did not appear to match the other two assumptions, but these were easy "mistakes" to make, if they were mistakes.
