    I just listed a bunch on eBay. I test shave each razor before final disinfecting. The Champions that I listed has a larger blade and shaves close and smooth. Don't know if I can give more info in a post. If interested PM me and I will send listing numbers.

    Ask Neil. No finer guy anywhere, and I'm sure he can help find exactly what you're looking for:

    I'm surprised that no one's mentioned the SRP Classifieds!
    When you are dead, you don't know that you are dead. It's difficult only for the others.
    It's the same when you are stupid.

    lucky I kept reading, I was about to post the same, try the SRP classifieds most will be shave ready & if not I'm sure they can arrange for it to be before you get it.

    there are also a few lads on Ebay that do fullly restored shave ready str8s that have been highly recomended from buyers on here also.

    RSPE7027 rspe7027 on eBay

    Cedrickrmsythe cedrickrmsythe on eBay

    Bouschie as mentioned previously

    see how you go
