I have to agree with the gentlemen here who are recommending that you get your razor honed by an expert to have a benchmark for what true "shave ready" feels like. I'm still a rookie myself about a month into SR shaving. I used DE and SE razors for about a year and a half before making the jump. My first SR was a new Boker Arbolito that looked to me to have a decent factory edge. I honed it myself on a series of cheap waterstones that I bought to hone the wedge blades that came with my Wilkinson Empire SE razor. I did 3k, 8k, 12k, strop and thought I put a fine edge on the razor. I could get a good shave, but I kept getting considerable neck irritation. Then I bought a razor in the classifieds here that was sold by wolfpack34. Once I shaved with it, I immediately realized where my neck irritation was coming from when shaving with the Boker. The edge that wolfpack put on the razor he sold me was night and day compared to the edge I had put on the Boker. I subsequently bought a second razor from wolfpack that had the same incredible edge as the first I bought from him. I gave up shaving with the Boker until I send it to wolfpack to put a proper edge on it.

Good luck and enjoy your shaves!
