Thanked: 1487
I have read that 20-25 strokes on a strop is all that is needed because the strop will not sharpen the blade. This information comes from several books, both new and old. So I was wondering what the 100 passes accomplishes? I do about 50 which is in the middle of the road.
As far as after shaving stropping is concerned: The one time I did not do the 20 passes on the nylon the blade began to rust. I cleaned it up and now always do the 20 passes to dry the blade.
PS. I am still a FNG“Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.”
