I have shaved with a straight for almost 30 years and always honed my own. 5 years ago I began refurbishing vintage razors. Honeing them and reselling them. I test shave every razor to make sure it is good to go. I have had some that had to make a second trip to the hones to get it right. In over 300 razors I only know of 2 or 3 that got by me. By that I mean the customer complained it was not shave ready.
That is why now I state shave ready is different to each person. Factors like prep; skill level; beard type can all make a difference. I agree with Rezdog. On any given day even the best of the best can get distracted and screw up a hone job. One of my customers had me re-hone a razor done by one of the top honemeisters because he did not liIke it's shave. Fortunately he was satisfied with my outcome.
