To answer your question about stropping. The general consensus is to strop for 30-60 roundtrip laps just before each shave, not the nite before.Some people will also strop after the shave, but that is your choice.

When you strop be sure and keep both the spine and the edge in contact with the leather. Do not lift the spine off the leather! Remember that you roll the razor over on the spine, not the edge.

Is there a stropping video out there for this guy?
