    Default Presharpened razors from classicshaving

    Does anyone know what they mean by presharpened? I assume that it means they have had the blades prehoned before shipping. Or are they just talking about the factory edge that has been put on the blade?

    Classicshaving offer a honing service, IIRC they are honed by Lynn Abrams, founder of SRP. Most manufacturers put an edge on the razor but hardly ever are they shave-ready so after buying you will have to hone the razor before use. Occasionally if you are lucky the razor will be serviceable with say 100 laps on the strop.

    I think someone said they are now stocking some more popular razors that have been prehoned by Lynn so you don't have to wait for him to receive, hone and send out.
