The problem is novice shavers will read your post and think this is normal… it I not… something is wrong.

What does it matter if they were all honed the same and maintained the same? I hone them all myself, I concider myself a rather advanced honer (I honed aprox 100 razors on top of my own, the progression is 1k-5k-8k-10k naniwa and Crox) and also the main point should be that I am satisfied with my edges right after the honning. Just my observation that some razors hold better edges than others.

in my opinion, its no problem if you hit crox or finishing stone after 10 shaves. Maybe you dont like it as sharp as I do, maybe your beard is not as strong as mine.
