I recently purchased a Kobar straight razor off ebay which wasnt shave ready.Having not yet mastered the art of honing and stropping i decided to give myself a head start and send it off to "The Invisible Edge.co.uk" for a Honing, stropping, clean & polish.

After the razor has been sent back to me will i still have to Strop this razor before i shave with it for the first time? or can i shave with it straight out of the wrapper?.
