The whipped dog came shave ready. When I stropped for the first few times, I dulled the blade, so I've been using that razor to get my stropping technique right. I don't want to mess up my nicer razors learning how to strop and hone. I'd rather use the whipped dog until I master those skills.

The other two razors are also shave ready. I found the Winchester in an antique shop and all it required was a strop on .5 and .1 micron balsa/paste board to get it sharp.
