Ear to ear, baby.
I took one of my razors back to the .3 CrOxed felt and leather, then engaged in purposeful, precise stropping. Bingo! Buttery smooth again. Dramatic improvement.
I cannot stress enough the importance of quality stropping. 30 well-done laps will beat 70 speedy gonzalez laps for me any day.
Thought I'd gush a bit. No, not the stypic gushing kind.
