Hi,
Can anyone tell me what is meant by the term shave ready or presharpened when buying a straight. Although not exactly new to this the terminology is new.
I recently purchased a 7/8 carbon Thiers Issard from Classic Shaving described as presharpened.
I have other razors which I hone myself and get excellent shaves form but this razor seems a little tuggy.
Don't get me wrong I am getting close shaves from it but it's not as enjoyable a shaving experience as I expected and am getting a little irritation on the chin, seem like it needs some polish on the coticule.
My shave routine is constant, the only difference being one of my 5 razors is a stainless and they are all 6/8, could this be a factor or are my expectations unrealistic for a presharpened razor.
