That's already honed by Lynn, the founder of this site. It will be good to go straight out of the packet (no stropping before first shave, so you get a uncompromised first shave).
Start also reading up on the beginners guide if you haven't already. http://straightrazorpalace.com/srpwi...eginners_Guide
Good luck.

Awesome! I dug a little further into their website and found that it does indeed say that, plus apparently a cert for a re-hone...good deal!
Is he/are they a site sponsor here? Always like to support the sponsors...

Welcome to SRP. Yes SRD is a sponsor of this website and Lynn Abrams is the founder of SRP as well as its predecessor, the yahoo group, many years ago.

Welcome. +1 on the SRD kit, and on the wiki. And of course, any questions along the way, feel free to post them here.

Welcome to SRP.
+1 on the previous advice; and remember, you don't need to strop your razor the first time you use it.
You've made a wise decision by deciding to purchase a complete set. I would recommend that you choose a 3" wide strop, rather than a standard 2" strop. It will lower the learning curve a bit with respect to stropping technique. Second, I would also add a copy of Lynn's dvd "World of Straight razor Sahving" to your package. It will answer a lot of your questions about str8 razor shaving and provide a necessary crutch those first few times when you shave with your new Dovo.
Again, welcome to SRP. Take care--and smooth shaving.
