I personally test shave each razor before final disinfecting. Shave ready is different to each person. Factors like light or coarse beard or beard length come into play. I have a heavy beard and test shave every razor on a two day growth before disinfecting. If razor gives a close comfortable shave I call it shave ready. If it does not shave right I rehone the razor. I hone razors as a sideline and have only had praise on the sharpness of the razors. Check my feedback and you will see how many customers were satisfied with shave ready.

Payment due in three days.

That's a heck of a deal new guys looking for a razor. Looks great Bouschie

Thanks

I don't make a killing on my razors. I buy as cheap as possibly. All work by hand. Sand, polish and rescale if necessary. They may not be the high polish finish that others do but I like to leave a little character. After all they are 100 years old plus or minus. Don't charge for my labor or the price would be too high.

I like the spine work. Is that original, or added later?

Is this razor still available? If so interested.

Sorry it sold overnight.
