This sounds goofy, but on several of my razors, one side of my face feels like it shaves different than the other (razor seems sharper).
I switch hands, so the razor side is switched too.
Can the quality of the hone be different on each side?
I experience the same thing. I think it may be the blade, despite others' believing otherwise. But I think it may be more likely that your (and my) whiskers on that side of the face grow in a different direction.
