Recently I decided to try straight razor shaving after shaving with a DE razor for a little while. So I went onto Ebay and found a seller who stated that his razors come shave ready. After winning the auction and receiving the razor I was pretty excited. This being my first razor, I didn't know how the edge should feel other than really sharp. So I stropped it and shaved with it and it felt pretty good! Then for my next shave I had two days worth of stubble, and the razor felt like it was pulling my hair out versus cutting it. So what I'm wondering is if this razor is truly shave ready or just somewhat sharp. I just sent two razors to a fellow SRP member (undream) and when I get them back I will compare the difference, but until I get them back I don't know what to compare them to. I think I should have spent more money and bought a razor off of the SRP classifieds. I'm hoping that not all straight shaving is going to feel like this. Thanks in advance to all who reply and give advice!
