Speaking as a moderator on this forum

I don't object to someone preferring a beard and not shaving, only to someone with NO experience shaving with straight razors categorizing them as shave ready when they have no basis for the statement.

Thanks in advance for your future cooperation.
Now that's really getting into silly semantics, isn't it? The razor came in a condition of sharpness that I would consider ready for someone to try to shave with it. That is my definition of "shave ready". I don't need to have to shave with it, just to consider the razor "shave ready" for someone who wishes to shave with it. I may be a newbie, but I can certainly tell very sharp from not so sharp from dull. The Titan razor came very sharp, on par with razors that I have sharpened on progressions of stones or on CBN strops. If you wish I will refrain from using the term "shave ready" unless I'm quoting someone else or a vendor.
