Although the general consensus is that T.I. edges are rather good right out of the box, the real question is whether this particular razor is even shave ready?

Where did you buy it from? If you purchased it from a vendor that provides honing services for their razors, then it is most likely shave ready. If that is the case, I would say that the first shave, you would not need to strop, but subsequent shaves you would.

If the razor was purchased from another source that does not sell their razors shave ready, the first step is to get this razor honed.
