Unless you're buying from SRP Designs, then don't trust that they will be actually shave ready. They may, but most are not. Most new manufacturers just run them on a grinder really quick, due to time restraints. This costs them less money, but the edge is less than desirable. Technically, you can shave off a 1K stone, as some of the threads that are on right now, but I for one wouldn't do it. So technically speaking, they may be shave ready, but not shave smooth or comfortable.
I'd either buy from the first two things I suggested, again making sure it's shave ready. You may also be able to contact another member from Edmonton that has some experience and either have them hone a razor, or there's always Maxi here in Toronto that you can send the razor too. Keep in mind that shipping across the boarder from or too the US is a PITA for most Canadians.
