Hi all

I've just purchased a new Thiers Issard razor as my second straight (I already have a Dovo) and I was reading through some of the information that come in the box, the razor comes shave ready (I know shave ready is down to the individuals take on what shave ready actually is, but anyway thats a different discussion) and the leaflet says not to strop the new razor until after many shaves, I think I can guess why it may say this but can anyone shed some further light on this suggestion as to exactly why it may say this? Secondly it says that putting at rest your razor every other day allows it to get its sharpness back. Exactly how accurate is this, im a bit sceptical as once stropped and put at rest how can my razor get any sharper? What ever the outcome/answers to my questions I really really like my new TI Razor and I cant wait to have my first shave with it tomorrow.

Thanks in advance to all of you
