Thread: Newbie Problems

Should have not stropped before shaving. That topic is well covered here so I take full responsibility for that gaffe.

So, do I just keep stropping/shaving with the blade as-is for a while and focus on prep and technique? Anyone think sandpaper is worth taking to the strop, or that the "slight rough" feeling on the up pass (like a couple tiny grains of sand) will screw up the blade?
