I want that perfect edge before I try it out, wait a week or two and I'll love to try her out.

In general.... try the edge right out of the box. Lay out the new blade and a backup.
If you do not like the new edge finish with the backup.

Two good thing happen. If the edge was already correct you did not mess it up.
If the edge was not 100% you have a comparison to judge it against and a backup.

For me the kamisori would be a new experience. I doubt I could hone it as well as
the maker on my first try.

After the first shave test or two... I would decide what to do next.

Great idea. I'll strop before it touches my face. I'm waiting on my new sample creams to test it out, so when I get it I'll use the new edge before I send it out.

Been looking at these bad boys. Where did you find this razor? (store, location, etc) I see that SRD is out of stock. I would like to add one to my growing collection.

Depending on the size you're looking for you can try here as well

Aframestokyo; Takeshi.

I can't imagine Iwasaki would send out razors without final honing them on Japanese natural stones of very high quality.

I think the box said "made in Beijing"?
