Probably best explanation I've seen on "Shave Ready" Here.
Lynn hones hundreds of Dovo's a year...new ones for Straight Razor Designs, that leads me to believe they are NOT shave ready from the factory.
Sorry you had a bad experience. Try testing before you shave next time you get one that is supposed to be shave ready!
Another thing to warn about. Ebay shave ready is just as bad as factory shave ready. Unlikely that it will be shave ready even if they say that they tested it.
I don't trust eBay if it says shave ready. It would be like trusting to put my head in a lions mouth!
Well I did go with a friend to some antique shops in hopes of finding some straight razors. We saw two but they weren't important enough to buy. One had a bad frown on it. I did however run across this Rolls Razor that i got a decent deal for $35. I think that was good in the box & complete with two different sets of instructions.
It was also fun to get out for awhile.
Sorry, that last reply got posted in the wrong place but that's ok.
