Thread: First SR Shave, Dovo Prima Silver Steel "Factory Edge"

You know, there is no definition to "shave ready". All it really means is it will shave your whiskers. It may not be comfortable and you may need many passes but it will shave.

Most around here consider that unacceptable but you would probably find many straight shavers out there who use a razor like that every day and think that's the way it is.

At one time razors came with factory edges truly ready for shaving. These days however if it is you are a lucky guy.

I have tried lots of edges and there are a few that pass from the maker but most have to go to my stones, I usually check the bevel and all have had good bevels so I start at the 4K and finish on a JNAT.
