I've purchased from FGP before and the blade is the factory edge which isn't really shave ready. Send it out to be honed.

I'm going to practice some stroping, and see if the blade gets better, if not, I'll send it to Lynn.
The wiki pages on this site are also very informative, really specific.
Thank you everyone for your kind words, and advice,
Marcello

so I just started trying to strop, first on the linen strop, then on the smooth leather one. I noticed the leather one wont stay level if I pull it taught and level. I have to twist it slightly and then it seems to be straight. Is this normal?
I also noticed the razor got sharper after the first round, then I must have messed up, because it wasn't as sharp the second round....
