Thank you gugi, I stand corrected. This from the classicshaving.com website (this morning):
As a customer service, the razors in our Thiers-Issard inventory labeled "PRESHARPENED" have been additionally hand honed in the USA by a ClassicShaving Sharpening Expert before being returned to our inventory. The razors without this decription have been sharpened by Thiers-Issard in France and have not received additional sharpening. Most of our "PRESHARPENED" razors may be ordered, by phone or email, without the additional sharpening, at a 15.00 reduced cost.
