I have several Frederick Reynolds razors and I wouldn't call them junk. In general they do appear to be made of a harder steel which makes them difficult to hone for most people. A semi wedge blade made of hard steel and a smiling edge compounds the honing issues. All of the Frederick Reynolds razors I have are great shavers and hold an edge very well.
