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.

Is this razor still available? Does your description of “ back of blade nearly almost straight” refer to a wedge grind?

Yes it is still available. When I say back of blade I am referring to top of spine. Spines can be straight, almost straight, slight hollow or hollow. The grind I would call 1/2 hollow. I will PM you.
