Thread: Pre-Sharpened New Razors

Hi Guys,

For a while we have seen confusion when a new person purchases a razor that is advertised as pre-sharpened and then have problems with the razor. For informational purposes, if you are looking to purchase a new straight razor, ask the vendor if it has actually been honed. Both Dovo and TI do final grinding on a plate or wheel, but it is a rare occasion when one is actually shave ready out of the box.

There are some vendors who only sell honed vendors.

When in doubt, Ask! When not in doubt, Ask!

Have fun,

Lynn
