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.

These razors are not restored to like new condition. They may have some pitting or dark spots none of which affects edge or shave. Please look at photos as they are part of the description. If you have any questions or need more information feel free to contact me.
