The factory edge was pretty good on mine also. Last week I didn't dry it well enough apparently and I got a very small pit.
You could barely see it, but this is my only NOS so it bothered me. It bothered me a LOT.
I took some 2000 to it and got the pit out. I honed it on Sunday and shaved with it this morning. Much improved!
What really surprises me is the difference in weight between it and my King Cutter. I really can't make up my mind which I like better yet, but the experience is very different. The Case is the lightest of all my razors and is more like a sports car compared to the Kings truck.
The end result of the shave is about the same (probably because both were honed by me :) ), but getting there is different and fun.
