For me, it depends what the person wants. If they ask for the razor to be honed, I assum they want it fully honed, which means shave ready. I hone it up as best I can, strop, test shave, strop, and mail it out. I tell people that if they are comfortable with their stropping, they should - if they are not, they should try the razor before stropping themselves.

But I'll also just set a bevel or do something else if that's what the person requests.
