Thread: Starting out

Unless it was specified as shave ready, more than likely it's just sharp. Look at the item description or even call your vendor. If you don't know & wish to guarantee that it's shave ready, send it to one of the vendors in the classifieds & then you will "know". If you are starting out, a true "shave ready" SR is the only way to go since you will be dealing the plenty other stuff, at least you could rule the blade out. If you do send it off, don't strop it or anything, just shave wiith it for the first time.
