Thread: Need Help and knowledge!

Well, the price was pretty good, I believe. Normally SS Dovos seem to fetch at least 150 bucks. The seller's feedback score looks good on other razors they have sold, so it could be that they are a competent honer.

As for disinfecting, I wouldn't worry if they say that it's new. The blade is stainless, so if your worried about it give it a bit of alcohol.

If you want to check to see if it's shave ready your best bet is to strop it, pluck a hair off your head and do the Hanging Hair Test. If it passes, it's at least fairly close to being a shaver.

If it fails, you can look for a Canadian who can hone to avoid border delays. Where abouts in Canada are you from?
