Just to be sure on one point, and that is I liked the results considering it is an edge right from the factory, I did no stropping on my hanging leather strop, there was not much in the line of whiskers left from a 3 pass shave done 3 hours previously and I had no discomfort. I just meant that the factory edge is not as unusable as might be supposed and maybe I got lucky on that angle. Yea looking forward to tuning the edge a bit.

My usual prep is to make lather, douse my face with hot water, lather up and shave. I get BBS shaves from my DE this way which are slightly closer and smoother than with my straights. I would put that down to being a real rookie with a not so polished technique with a straight.

Considering all that I think the razor did very well and like you say should improve when all the pieces of the puzzle fall into place.
