    Not good at all. Heck, even I can see it! Though probably it is still better than Boker. Boker doesn't seem to care about honing at all. Some say it is like a butter knife when they get it!

    The only "New" Shave Ready razors I've received (factory edge) were the new TI Carbonsong numbered and promoted as shave ready razors, encouraging purchasers to try them without stropping, etc., as I remember it. They made special effort with these limited editions. The newer versions of TI's,

    This is not to say an Aust isn't shave ready from his shop, but mine have come from SRD and are honed by Lynn. They are a quality razor and a good value for the quality.

    A few stock photos of a few of the mentioned TI razors.

    Nice TI indeed. Too bad the newer ones are a bit hit and miss. The particular Aust that I like is from SRD too. In fact it is offered only through SRD; if you go to Aust's website you won't find it! I wish SRD offered Revisor.
