    Oz and Wid are right on the money. New production TIs at the cheaper end of the scale can come with significant geometry issues and putting them right is not a trivial affair for the newcomer (ask me how I know ). I'd recommend sending it to a pro. Of course it won't hurt to own a 1k hone for the next razor you buy.
