Waiting.

So, as I said in my intro, I have a T.I. razor that i bought new. The box and website said shave ready, but after reading the many threads here devoted to defining a "shave ready" razor, I am starting to feel that maybe it wasn't. Have never honed a razor and not having something to compare a truly sharp razor too, don't think i will get the results i want right away.
So i decided to purchase a second blade that comes shave ready from someone here on the forum. Started the transaction on the 6th of Dec, getting money transfered into my PayPal account, it is now Noon on the 9th and the money still isn't there. Getting impatient. Not to mention the shipping is gonna take forever. has to go all the way from it's origin, to the states to San Fran, and then out here to Japan. Is going to take about a month i would guess, especially this time of year. They need to make star trek transporters a reality now.

Two members I know of who live in Japan are JimR and zeth lent . Perhaps one of them might have a shave ready razor you might talk them out of ? Shoot one or both a PM if you want. A month goes slow when you're waiting for a package. Like watching a pot of water .... never boils. :)

Which should be an outrageous edge.

(Gotta pour salt on Jimmy's tongue about Jnats - his HAD status is in jeopardy for lack of an eastern rock!) :)

Seriously, an edge from those guys should be a treat.
