Hello, I am a new member. I have been using a Dovo Shavette to start. I bought the Dovo Bismark and received it yesterday. It has been honed and arrived with a coating of oil. My question is, do I need to strop it prior to shaving? Also, what is the best strop for the bismark. Any tips on stropping will be appreciated. I don't want "round" the edge due to improper or over stropping. Thank you
