Where did you get your razor? Is it shave ready?

You'd be surpised what vintage razors you can get for the price of a new one. I have some superlative blades (Dovo, Jowika, Wester Bro's, and Geo Wostenholm IXL) that, to me, are far superior to some of the new ones. And I paid less for them than any quality new blade on the market.

+1 on not re-scaling!
