In the beginning you may not know 'shave ready' if you stumbled on it (OUCH!), therefore, make sure it is shave ready to eliminate this variable.
Don't take anyone's word for 'shave ready' unless it comes from someone who uses and hones straight razors, the longer the better.
And finally, agree, pox on Amazon for straight razors, but rejoice with them for everything else
