I guess my answer would be it depends on if it is honed properly. Glen could better answer your question. One thing I did find out though is that I can use both sides of the blade and get a nice shave
Hey guys, sorry for not posting in a while. With nearly 180 consecutive days of SR shaving, I got too comfortable and complacent about my SR use. I tried to cut corners and shave too fast and clumsily. Needless to say, I did some bloodletting. Now I have a set of new, open and healing wounds to care for. So until healed I am back to using the Mühle R89 DE. This is a post for new and experienced SR shavers alike. Remember, you are using a ridiculously sharp knife blade. Complacency is a dangerous thing. I'm not seriously injured, but I may have a new scar or two.

Oh yeah that is a definite. I get such a better shave and much more satisfaction and enjoyment out of a SR than a DE
6/8 Clauss Sapone Di Paolo & post shave balm Homemade 2 band badger of unknown origin (thinking a V.S. or Ace) Finished off the blade with a coti again for this mornings shave, very smooth and comfortable. My next shave will be off a thuri edge but on a different razor. Have a good one.
I'd like to think I could, at least off my stones but there are so many variables with honing I wouldn't bet I could with someone else doing the honing. They do have a different feel to them though.
I can a difference in the feel from a coticule versus Japanese natural stone versus a synthetic hone. Coticule and JNAT leave a smoother feeling edge.
