I know Billy was never sold on the "honing" by invisible edge - you may find it's not as shave ready as you think...
I guess I need to find out for myself here. I wouldn't know what is good and what is not in the world of straights, but I am sure it is one of those areas I will soon learn. It didn't take long to pick up what is good bad and ugly in the world of DE's and SE's. Although it did take a few days for the initial scars to heal.
I will say that The Invisible Edge have been damn fine to deal with to date.
At one time I honed all the razors for the Invisible Edge, but I finished honing razors for Adam well over a year ago, so I couldn't say what they are like now.
I hope your skills are duly repeated. In passing so you still hone for others?
Can't stress enough how important it is for a straight newbie to have a truly shave ready razor, even if they ruin it within the first couple of shaves. Need to know what one felt like in order to know when it's back there again

I didn't start wet shaving until just over a year ago, so all of my observations are based on recent conversations
No offence meant - just passing on what I'd been told
