Not overly enamoured with his honing technique, the laser scale cutter was pretty cool all the same.

It's the "wham, bam, thank you ma'am" technique. He moves them out the door as quickly as possible. I watched a video of a guy sharpening scissors in the U.K., he used that same type of spinning hone. I've seen a few of those wheels used on YouTube too, but mainly on razors. Has anyone gotten a comfortable shave off of a "factory" edge before?

I rarely buy new production straight razors. A few years ago, I bought a brand new Boker which surprised the hell out of me by being shave ready out of the box. Nice comfortable shave.
