Disclaimer: I'm about to work on a blog entry about what buyers should expect when buying something relating to this hobby. So, if appropriate, I may steal direct quotes from here. Another note, the idea for (if not the exact) following questions came from an email from Bart
What should we expect from our gear when buying it?
Razors: Should they come with a shave ready edge? Should it cost extra to have such?
Brush: Should they come fully bloomed? Should a boar brush come already broken in?
Strops: Should they require any treatment prior to being serviceable? How much is acceptable?
Hones: Should they come fully lapped and ready to hone a razor?
Soaps and Creams: Anything besides performance?
What are your thoughts? Thanks
