I personally test shave each razor before final disinfection. 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. If razor gives a close comfortable shave I call it shave ready. If it does not shave right I re-hone the razor.

Payment due in three days.

Quite different scales. And great price as always my friend. GLWTS

Thanks. I designed them and carved them out. First with a Dremel then files and sanding. First time so not a masterpiece but bot bad either.

I didn't realize you made the scales yourself. Quite cool!
