Thanked: 3795Did you request it to be made shave ready or did you just get the "factory edge?"

As of today I received the following Revisor: 6-0012, 6/8 mild steel , 1/1 hollow. I ordered through Revisor and Sabine was wonderfully helpful. As of 15 mins ago I completed my first shave with it and it was spectacular. One slight cut but that was due to bad driving. For the last three weeks I had been using a shavette. This was my first straight cut shave and it was The best shave of my life!

Razor of choice: Revisor 6/8

I don't think you have the option with Revisor since you are buying direct not through a merchant. The two I have came with edges that could probably complete a shave. But looking at them under microscope, you could see a lot of peaks and valleys. A very uneven edge. I suspect they would have shaved but unless you need to send it out, why bother putting yourself through that.

That is not how it goes over here. Opening the box starts the warranty period, so we do not want our vendors to open the box. Razors are expected to be sold shave ready. The entire concept of selling razors honed by the vendor does not exist.
It would be either of two names for me. Ralf Aust makes outstanding razors, too, and they are readily available in the US thanks to Lynn and Don. For which props and kudos.
If you read the interview (you did, did you not?) you will have noticed that Revisor are a very small operation. Because of the quality products they provide, they are quite popular over here. I am not sure that "more popular" is a concept that would fit into their business model. They take excellent care of their customers, though. I think you call that "value for money" over there.

Thanked: 3222I bought my Revisor a couple of years ago and found that it came with an edge you could shave with but not totally to my liking. IIRC correctly, on close inspection I did notice some cosmetic imperfection with the jimping but nothing to make it unserviceable. Most things these days are not entirely perfect not even German crafted items. Being a realist able to ignore slight qibbles with a product I would order another Revisor again if I ever am in the market for a brand new razor as opposed to vintage ones.
I too think the ordering process is a bit cumbersome and that may be hurting their sales in North America more so than the high shipping costs. In any event they are quite good to deal and will go the extra mile if you have special request and it is possible to do.
