It'll cost roughly £25 but you will know what shave ready feels like. Once you've established what a truly shave ready razor feels like you can work from that. I've used both steve and neils honing services and you cant go wrong.
    + 1 on the above for both Steve and Neil. If you buy another new razor both these gentlemen supply shave ready blades

    Hi and welcome. Shave ready means different things to different people. That said as yours cut arm hair it probably has a set bevel but needs to be further honed before being truly shave ready. Send it out and at least you will know its not the razor. Start slow and steady and you will be fine. Good luck.
    My wife calls me......... Can you just use Ed
