beginners thoughts
for me the honing is a good bit of the allure of this. i am a knife collector spending most of my spare time with a blade and a stone i love the feel of a staight on my skin but have never had the chance to really learn how to properly "clean up" the edge when dull. i see the points in both arguments on one side you get a razor that is ready to go so no stress or worry other than cutting yourself basically starting your addiction on the other side starting from nothing and having to learn and deall with the irritation until you get that perfect edge you will respect and take better care of you blade. in my opinion anyway
