Thread: Stroping?

But I usually don't bother to strop after shaving myself, but for no particular reason.

I think you're referring to the Dovo instructions that come with their razors.
They also say you should buy 2 & let one "rest"
I would dare say anyone who strops after shaving has not stopped the practice due to edge damage.
