Dovo razors, do any come from the factory shave ready?

There ya go new guys, read those all once again, realize that they all say the same thing...

I shaved with a new fresh out the box bismark and in my 2mth old at the time newby hands it didn't shave too bad. Could feel the difference compared to a "shave ready" edge from whipped dog tho. It's since been honed by Oz and is a totally different animal, much smoother.
