For years I’ve used a spyderco sharpmaker on knives and have had good results. It doesn’t raise a burr because you do alternating, edge leading strokes.
Because that is pretty much how you hone a razor, I never thought to question it, and it has worked for me.
Having said that, now I am trying to get better at freehand sharpening I am trying to use the burr method, and am succeeding with that as well.
But for many of the reasons stated in posts above, I’ll not be using it on razors.
