Newbie...I'll admit it.....but now the proud owner of a brand new Dovo 6/8 "Palisander" and a starter shavette.

It was supposed to come shave ready. I don't really know exactly how that is supposed to work. I can save with it fine. However I get a better and closer shave with my $20 shavette? Is that normal? Yes, I strop (albeit slowly) before use. Thanks in advance for the feedback.
