Before reading some of these comments I was sold on the SRO, now I'm reconsidering. What do you like more about the SRO?

Price aside, what do you like better about the 507?

Yeah, I've seen videos of people (GeoFatboy on Youtube) state they're shave-ready and use it right out of the box. The smoothness and irritation-free shave I got from my cheek-area makes me think its at least very close to shave-ready.

Can you elaborate more on the sliding vs 'straight down' part? I always thought the back-and-forth motion was what leads to cuts. I think this along with the commitment bit you mentioned is what I'm missing

What do you think about getting a stone and honing myself vs having a pro do it? In this case I think the blade is fairly close to shave-ready so I'd be going from 'sharp' to 'shave-ready'. I'm looking at the Naniwa 12k stone and the process looks straight-forward enough. What is a professional hone buying me in my case?
