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.

I believe it was made by R. Sutcliffe with an "e". My family was from this area. Cheers, Mike Sutcliffe.
That will make all the difference!

I will look again and let you know. Thanks.

Mike you are absolutely correct. It was either dirty glasses or old age. Probably both. Onle way to edit it now is to close it and relist. Will do that later.
Thanks
