Thread: 2 goals

For some time I have wanted to minimize, (read:eliminate) beard prep. I have made some in roads with technique and edge quality, but to only lather and shave does not quite yield the results I am looking for. So i'm still working on that

The latest bright idea I have come up with is to eliminate stropping!

For sometime now I have been shaving right off the hone without an initial stropping. When I figure there is no use honing the blade further I put it in rotation (which for me means I don't use it much but start with another razor)

2 or 5 strokes per day is not going to wear a blade or hone too awful much is it?
whatta ya think?
