The invisible edge : shave ready

[Jack Sales]

I fancy a new shave ready razor to use for my head & the 5/8 Dovo (imitation mother of pearl) grabs my attention.
I believe that The Invisible Edge supply all of their razors 'shave ready'.I've read everything on the website which says so.
Can anyone recommend a shave ready razor from here? Meaning,have you bought one yourself?
Without a doubt they have a good reputation & sell quality stuff,so I'm not questioning that.
I no longer have the full set of stones to set the bevel edge & just have finishing hones so It needs to be shave ready.Any help much appreciated.Thankyou **Update.I've just emailed them to find out if they are truly sharp**

I've bought a Dovo from them and yes it was shave ready. I wouldn't ever buy another Dovo though.

I got a Theirs 7/8th that the Seller said Came from Invisible Edge..It was Brand New & Unused..I wasn't Impressed with it at All..Also Current Dovo SRs the Cheaper Ones anyway are Having Some Issues..I Got One to Hone Recently for Someone & the Geometry was All to Hell..

Thanks for saying.Why wouldn't you buy another? I've never owned a Dovo so can't really say much about them.

I Sold it..These Modern Theirs are Not the Same Quality Steel as the Vintage Ones as I Have Honed a Few..The Current Dovo SRs are Not Great Steel either as Far as I am Concerned..The Cheaper Ones anyway..A Chinese Gold Dollar is Far Better Steel & Takes a Superior Edge of either of them..Seriously..

G.D..I don't like them.Cheap rubbish.Bought one once out of curiosity that was meant to of been shave ready & it blunted 1/4 into the shave.Each to their own though.

EBay is Full of Current Dovo SRs..They Usually Sit for Months..There is a Reason for that..Revisors are held in High Esteem from some People that Know what they are Talking About..

They are Not Cheap Rubbish..Only as Rubbish as the Person that Honed it..They are better Steel than a Lot of Current SRs Including Some Custom SRs..

I've not bought a razor from eBay in a long time & that was a W&B.Yes I've seen the Dovo razors on there but would never buy one.I don't believe the Shave ready bullshit but would expect it from the invisible edge.

When You Put a Razor on the Hone it All Comes Out in the Washing what is Good Steel..You Cant Kid the Hone..I Have Honed a Number of Current Brand Name SRs & I am Not Impressed by the Qaulity of the Steel or the Shaving Edges Compared to Vintage SRs..

Most Serious SR Users Shave with Vintage SRs..Not because they are Cheaper but because Some of them Cost a Lot of Doe but because the Steel is Held in High Esteem & of Course the Superb Edges they Take..

Just because someone uses a vintage straight razor it doesn't make him more serious ffs lol I have custom & Vintage but I keep an open mind.I couldn't care less if the razor is vintage or not.If I like it I like it.Incidentally putting a razor in the washing machine won't do it or your machine any good lmfao
