Shave ready so I didn't strop it. But I've read so many different things about how often to strop. Some say every 7-10 shaves. Seems like most people on here like to do it before every shave. It's nice to have a forum on here to ask more experienced people before trying anything new. Thanks alot
Sounds like some nice gear, a good idea I picked up here is to get a blunt butter knife and practice stropping with that, flipping it over. Go nice and slow while learning, spine and edge of razor touching strop with weight of blade only.
