Congrats on the razor, sounds awesome! I think you will do just fine.

Hi and welcome. Make sure the razor is honed shave ready as not all factory edges are shave ready. Good luck and any questions feel to ask. Ed

the website I bought it off said it was shave ready but ill give it a quick strop before I use it

Many say shave ready of the factory edges. If it was not hand honed it msy not be shave ready. Where fid you buy it from

a website called executive shaving

Welcome to the forum. We are always happy to have a new member. The new revisor you ordered from executive should be honed and good to go. That is probably not true of their TI's. Enjoy and keep us posted.

I will do lz6. ill be camping out my the letterbox till it arrives haha

I had a Dovo from Executive Shaving a couple of years ago and it was not 'shave ready'
Box still had the seal intact from the Dovo factory. I did actually try shaving with it but the edge was awful.
However Revisor have a better reputation for often producing shave ready edges straight from the factory so you may be lucky.
Keep us informed.

hello to London. welcome to the SRP . by the way you wouldn't live on 221 baker street would ya.
