I am not sure if you have noticed, but the catch phase of the day on E-bay is "Shave Ready" So one of two things happened..
1. E-bay has very recently had a huge influx of Honemeisters...
2. Some of the super honest, wonderfully forthcoming sellers on E-bay have figured out that listing a razor as "Shave Ready" assures a sale and usually more money...

I highly suggest making sure you are buying from a reputable E-bay seller if they say shave ready,,, BTW there are very very few that sell razors...

Better yet at least check the Classifieds here or our own Vendors first..
