So fellas, im still alive and no trips to the ER. Have a couple of nicks on my strop and my face so a few questions. First off, did any of you have a weird spot that they had trouble with? Mine seems to be on my right side upper lip, away from my nose almost in that spot where the mustache would come down if you were going to do a goatee. It's weird, I've got two small nicks there. Question two on stroping, do most of you guys strop before and after? I am doing 25 laps on the scrub leather of Lynn's modular strop and then 50 laps on the premium leather 1. Then I shave, then 20 on scrub leather post shave with 30 on the premium leather. I am doing the pre and post stroping for the experience right now but is that ok? I guess my question is, is there such a thing called over stroping??? And finally thanks again to all the vets out there that help out us newbie!!!!
