Being a beginner I have read numerous articles on every aspect of shaving.During my research on stropping I have come across articles saying you should never strop a razor after shaving because you could damage the microscopic cutting edge.That you should allow the razor to rest 24-48 hours for the fine edge to realign.I have also come across numerous articles and post of people saying they strop their razor after shaving to help maintain a nice edge and clean the blade and even some who strop during the shave before a final pass over the face.Is this all just personal preference,could you actually damage the edge stropping after a shave?The article in question can be found at this link.Straight Razor Strop Use and Care, How to Strop Single Edge Razors, About Stropsg
