His word :- Definitely shave-ready...I am pretty experienced at using whet stones and strops for various blades.
Greybeard says he sharpens blades, so hopefully he has a loupe and has seen his own work close up. He did say this in a previous postIt's much more difficult shaving with a straight than with any other razor but that's part of the joy of it!
I tend to shave with a straight at the weekend when I have more time.
As everyone has said though, it's just practice, practice, practice and making sure you're starting with a straight that has been honed by someone who knows how to do it (so you have a good reference point as to what a shave ready straight should feel like).
