Riddle me this - how come razor makers ship razors not fit for shaving, but Lynn shipping tens of thousands of razors without ever a dud? Just sayin'...
Same for any(!) other shop selling additional honing services.

I have no idea why almost all of the manufactures sell their goods not quite ready for service and they require further service by the end user or the reseller. It seems to be the new standard for the manufactures though. It seems to me that the past advertisements suggest it was not always the way. It make no sense to me as this would be your last chance for inspection and quality control. I think it is a less than perfect business plan, but I am not in that business so there may be a logical explanation, perhaps TI or Dovo or Ralf Aust or Revisor or Wacker would be able to offer an idea. As far as I know the only manufacture offering shave ready from the artisan is Hart, although Hart is more a group of artisans than a manufacture. I am pretty sure that all the artisan makers as in custom makers all deliver shave ready. Why the bigger manufactures have let this aspect of the process go is indeed a good question.

MONEY AND TIME. I agree, they put so much time, material and man hours and cut back on the final touch. That's what we remember not the quality of the razor. Sad

My latest new razor purchase was from Wacker. It came with a nice "shave ready edge". The best factory edge to date from all my German Imports.
