It looks like Lynn hones the razors for them too. So if it was marked as ***Shave Ready*** on their sight it should be ready to use right out of the box.

From the website:
"Our Vintage Straight Razors are intended to be used as a shaving instrument rather than as a collector item. As a result, they are typically offered professionally honed and completely “shave ready”. Many of our Vintage Straight Razors are also carefully cleaned and polished by a trained restoration professional. Please check each item description for complete details."

"Vintage Blades is pleased to provide you with a straight razor honing service for all the razors in your shaving rotation, whether you bought them here or not. As with all the new professionally honed straight razors that we sell, this service is provided by Lynn Abrams, one of most renowned “Honemeisters” in the world. Lynn has experience honing every type of quality razor made today as well as all vintage razors. This is not a grinding service. Each razor is hand honed by Lynn on the best stones available.

The fee for the standard sharpening service is $20.00 per razor plus return shipping. Lynn also offers an razor examination service for $1.99 plus return shipping if you feel your razors will need more than the standard service. Your return shipping in the US will cost $5.45 for USPS Priority Mail with delivery confirmation. No other shipping options are available.

All payments should be made directly to Lynn through PayPal. You may log onto PayPal at www.paypal.com. Lynn's PayPal ID is [email protected]."
