Thread: Help I.D ing the quality of my first razor

I've bought a razor from Ertan at Rasoir-Sabre. I am very happy with my purchase. However, it was not shave-ready. Razor sharp, yes, but not shave ready. You will need to find someone who can help you get it that way. I'm sure there are some members here who live in France. There are members from the EU here I know, so you should be able to find one you could send it to without paying duties for the blade to leave/return to the EU. First have it properly honed, then you can begin to learn to shave with it.

Hi and welcome to the forum. Can't help with information on the razor but don't take it to a knife sharpening service. Check out the classifieds to see if there is someone close to you or you can also check the local help list to see if anyone is close. Good luck

Welcome to an Older but Better way of shaving

While I don't know who could help you with getting that razor truly shave ready I do have a friend in Germany who I'm sure would help you out. PM me for more info.

Also if you haven't seen the Beginner's Tip for January take a look it will show how shave ready isn't always Truly Shave Ready
