    A bit of hyperbole maybe.

    One would he bound to enquire as to exactly what crack pipe the seller had been smoking prior to deeming that shave ready.

    At least it's obvious. I've bought a few "shave readys" and none of them were. I disregard any claim to readiness.

    It might be the seller's sense of humour, he could have added that training wheels were extra .

    I just noticed they removed/revised the title, and it no longer claims shave ready.

    Just make sure it doesn't turn into seller bash. I see this quite a bit, and kudos to them for changing it. One victory. If I sell something shave ready I am sure to list the hone progression.

    Yes, shave ready translates usually into, open package, re-package, send out to be properly honed.

    If asked if I would like it made shave ready, I say don't bother, usually will just end up removing more metal and causing problems later.

    It does in the description though.
