Thank you guys! Went to a couple of places in NYC yesterday to find out if it needed honing. One of them right of the bet said it did. Left it there, but came back in 15 mins to get back. Something felt amiss about the place, two others complimented ton he purchase and said it was shave ready.
So, I bought my first hanging Dovo strop and, of course, did too little of the stropping. Maybe 15-20 before my first ever SR shave. Should have probably been 50.
Shaved. Did not kill myself. Did 3 passes: 2- WTG and 1 - ATG. No cuts. Nothing. But the face skin feels a little sore.
This will be my weekend shaver, Muhle R89 Grande DE for daily use. Love that one too.
