    Was the razor "shave ready" before you started stropping? And then there is the thing about the HHT not being deterministic. It seems that the HHT test passes most easily on an "aggressive" edge -- one that might still cause irritation or not be that comfortable to shave with. I think if you get the edge even smoother the HHT is likely not to pass as easily or not at all. Assuming the razor was shave ready to begin with, carefully strop it and try shaving with it. Also, 25 laps on a strop would probably be the bare minimum between shaves.
