    Default Wiping the Blade

    Hello all, I've been reading a bit but this will be my first post.

    I've been shaving with a green holder shavette for a couple months now, and my first razors and strop are one the way at this moment.

    I know there's probably no definitive answer, but I'd like to hear thoughts on wiping the blade during a shave.

    Should wiping with a cloth be avoided?
    If not, what kind of cloth is preferable, and what technique should be used? i.e. stropping motion
    With what frequency should you wipe the blade, or if it's just preference what are the common results of higher or lower frequency wiping?

    Appreciate any thoughts, and look forward to talking with everyone.

    Thanks
    glenn
