I hone new ones like this one all the time for folks. Unfortunately, they do not come ready to shave out of the box. I have had this conversation with the CEO over at AOS and I'm not sure he understood. It's great that you found us and you will be shaving with a straight razor very soon........
Have fun,

A French razor on a German strop, and you wonder why they dont get along! But really it just needs a good honing, check the classifieds.

Let me explain something that I learned the hardway. Honing is the act of sharpening the blade so that it can shave you, stroping is cleaning the metal shards off the blade so that the honing can be done. Honing is something that every straight shaver needs to learn do do. Personally I am a tad dubious because the Inox I have was honed for me before it was sent to me, when it arrived it was so dull it could not shave anything. So I had a rather bade experience so I am a tad dubious of the honemisters in the first place. Sort of like one ruined the business for all of the others.
