Thread: "Shave ready"???

Hi Bernie. 'Grats for choosing quality in your shaving.

I'm prob a bit like others, in that I'm doubtful of 'shave readiness' from a fleabay acquisition. This is a bit compounded by the fact that without another known 'shave ready' razor, how can you judge the quality of the edge? Compared to what?

Now with that said, I see the issue of a possible chip a bit differently. While no one wants them, I'm not at all afraid to shave with them. I've had a few blades that had chips that shaved wonderfully. I sold a blade to an experienced shaver - highlighting in the ad that there was a small nick in the edge. I heard from the buyer last night - who said he's loving the shaves. That's the only other person I've heard from that agrees with me - that a nick is not the kiss of death for an edge. I'll go pretty far to avoid blades w/ nicks, but that's a pride of ownership issue w/ me more than being afraid the nick will tear up my face.

That razor looks OK to me . Shave with it , then pass your judgment . If it gives you a good shave , keep it . If it doesn't , return it , and get your money back .
