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.

Hello, how much is this razor?

Sorry about that. I forgot to paste bottom info.
Thanks for letting me know.

Price dropped to $38 til end of month.

Just on a curiosity note (I just saw this post & am presently unable to look it up myself), is James Barlow the same family as Barlow of pocket knives? I was thinking that was American but they could have immigrated. Thanks & GLWS!

Sorry I don't have an answer for you. What you see is what I found. Hopefully someone will have the answer.

Still for sale?
