Every year I seem to change technique , at this time I alternate 7 razors in a week.
DMT fine diamond to Spyderco Medium, fine for restores, Ultra fine for honings after 6 to 10 shaves per
blade (lightly) depending on the razor, (my spydercos are well used), 1 homemade flat strop 12" 2 strips side by side
one side alu OX, 1 side raw, for post honing refinement 20-30 passes per side, and and old antique paddle strop for maintenance while shaving. I lightly strop while shaving-maybe just a couple of passes to clean up the edge, rinse, dry, then use a light leather waterproofing grease for storing. Some of the blades I will strop 20 passes after the shave, always a couple or more passes for all before the shave. It's kind of a strop or hone by feel kinda thing for me.
