What kind of razor?

Was it honed by the seller?

and most important:

. . . How was the shave?

If you survived a 3-pass shave, you're doing pretty well.

It's a hollow grind straight razor from the art of shaving it was shave ready but I do strop my blade before every shave now and ya I'm doing 3 pass now the shave is really good but I got a few nicks the last time

You say that your shave is good which i'm glad to hear as normally fresh from the factory or aos razors are not truly shave ready. you should be stropping your razor before each use.

enjoy,

Ya I strop before each shave u guys got any info on some good non alcohol based AS as well and any good soaps and ware to get em
