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 have a similar razor that I inherited from my uncle. I suspect it may have belonged to his father as I never knew my uncle to use a straight razor. The razor is a great shaver, as are many Sheffield razors from that era. The razor appears to be in good condition, so it is a nice razor for someone just starting or adding to his collection.

You cannot even purchase a Chinese razor in shave-ready condition for that price.
