Thread: Newbie with Dovo 5/8 and strop kit from SRP initial questions...

Hi and welcome. 25 linen or webbing followed by 50 leather pre shave is a pretty safe place to start. Many do a smaller number of both webbing and leather after to make sure all residues and water are removed from the blade before storage. It is a good idea to leave the razor partly open to air dry before storage and not to store in areas of humidity. The sock is great for storage and is meant to keep moisture from the razor. A thin coat of oil to the blade is recommended for areas of high humidity to combat rust. Good luck and always feel free to ask questions. Asking questions can save a lot of heart ache and damaged razors.
