@ JeffR.... The right tool for the right job. Would you trim your nails with the same razor you wish to shave with?

To reitterate what others have already said...the TNT is for checking a bevel or if you want to dull your razor. Personally I dont even use it for checking a bevel set because after you do you have to go back to the hone to reset it.

(see 4:00).What is all the fuss about the thumbnail test? I thought that the honemeisters at Dovo tested blades on a cow horn during the honing process: Making DOVO Straight Razors - YouTube

But then factory-sharp Dovos are far from shave-ready.

Everyone has their right to try what ever they want. I recommend you don't do it. Just like I recommend you don't look down a barrel of a weapon you are carrying. The choice is always yours. My razors edge's stay in fantastic shape.
