Thread: 2 razors shave ready, a coincidence, or are they?

Hi Jojingo,
Just my twopence worth-IMHO-even professionally honed razors can still give bad shaves if they are not being handled by an experienced shaver.
It takes time and experience to get a good shave,even with a sharp razor.
To be safe,though and for a decent reference point,I agree it would be better to verify the sharpness of your blade by getting it honed.

jojingo,

I doubt that it is a coincidence that both of your razors shaved ok right out of the box. That has been my experience as well.

Like the other fellows wrote, "shave ready" is somewhat subjective. The more experienced people probably have much higher standards than most, and the honing skills to match.

It might be fun for you to send out one of your razors to an expert honer for a "Cadillac" quality edge.

Enjoy!
