I bought one of the "Pre-Sharpened" Dovo sets in February. In short, I had to send it to Lynn for honing. Pre-Sharpened is NOT the same as pre-honed. Do yourself a favor and send the razor to Lynn. Also, I would strongly suggest getting different soap. Your experience may be different, but I did not enjoy the classic soap and really noticed a major difference after switching to TGQ soap. Just my $0.02.
