So I was new to SR shaving and bought a set from the Nashville knife shop. I paid the extra 15 bucks to have it shave ready, and it was for the most part. But there were times when it seemed like it would pull a little or maybe I have to make more passes then was comfy for a good shave. I just bought a razor from Mark Jefferey... he said it was shave ready and pardon my french but HOLY ****! This was the best shave ever! My other razor which is a Dovo, is sad in comparison. I just want to say thanks to Mark and Lynn. Mark what a difference. And Lynn if you read this how can I have you sharpen my razor so it is as good as the one I just bought?
