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.

damn what a nice one - there's something bout those Dutchies ...
actually a J.C. VAN OERS - MIDDELBURG
Middelburg is a small city (and district capital) at the Isle of Walcheren (Zeeland) only 30 km from where I live ...
J.C . VAN OERS married in 1845 (at the age of 25) and registred as a toolmaker
he died in 1901 so this should date it 1845 / 1885
if I were in the US I'd certainly give it a go...

Thank you for the correct information. Just enough of the last letter was gone to make it look like a "c". It's a beautiful razor and shaves great.

I'll take it!
