    One conclusion I saw was that metal doesnt "realign" over time for the most part... anything on metal that will rebound is elastic, and rebounds swiftly, and anything that won't rebound swiftly is "bent"... That made sense to me... Also, I love to strop... it's very meditative and relaxing for me... And I've never had trouble from post-shave stropping... Then again, I -and a few other guys) wipe the edge with towels now and then... I actually use a towel to wipe it after every shave...

    For me, after shaving, I use the sink to get lather off the blade, clean it... THen I use a towel to get the most moisture I can off the blade... Then I use a rough fabric component (Linen, felt, or SRD webbed fabric) to clean the gunk out of the microserrations of the edge, and finish drying it... Then I use a latigo or Bridle for a few laps (25ish) to polish, realign, and finish cleaning the edge...

    I've never had negative results from that... YMMV

    Cheers.
