    I have about as much experience as you, but I did read from more experienced shavers in other threads that if you are stropping properly, there is no maximum amount. I've read from very experienced shavers doing upwards of 200 laps... The danger is that if your technique is incorrect, then more stropping can either increase the amount of damage, or increase the odds of incurring some damage to the blade or the strop.

    Other users with more experience will probably also chime in, and I would like to expand the original question to include the pasted strops. Can a wire-edge be created with a pasted strop in the same way as over-honing?
