    Depending on how bad the edge rolled on the strop, it may need a bit more then a touch up. Maybe not full bevel reset, but more then what a 12K can easily do. Is the 12K your only stone? If you have an 8K you may want to run it over that, and then run the 12K to see if that brings the comfy shave.

    I dont know the honing skills of the seller, but "shave ready" means something different to a lot of people. Any razor I buy, I will automatically do a bevel set and progression on my own stones. And if I cant get a great edge on it, I will send it out to a known good honer... ("Aldwyn, you always seem to send me challenging blades!" - Glenn M) The exception being my new kamisoris I have been buying recently, since I havnt tried honing one yet.
