what does this razor needs?

[DoubleB]

I picked up this razor today, waiting for it to fall in the mailbox tomorrow. I really would like to use this one to be my very first straight razor. What does it need? Is an alcohol wipe, honing and stropping enough?

Thanks for any tips guys!

Thats right. You can polish it up a little if you like, but it doesn't really need it.

Send it out to a honemeister though!

Polish if you want, otherwise it's just a good honing & shave away
Gong's have a solid reputation for being fine razors.
