It's a different thing however if it is sold a little cheaper (compared to "honed, shave-ready") as "not shave-ready".

We have it good in the sense that we know what is shave-ready and who can hone them, but somebody who buys from a small cutlery-vendor somewhere should get a shave-ready edge too.

I think we are on the same page.

I have shaved with and been happy with factory blades.

I know that prior to modern computer ignition most auto
dealers would give all their cars a timing light check
and minor tune up.

I do not think that is true today... I will walk over to my
local Tesla dealer and ask what they do.

Just shaved of the razors i pasted and finshed on cr.ox , no problems very comfortable and sharp. Why i had harsh edge first couple of razors i'm not sure. Just trial and error.
