I have not shaved with a straight in 10 years, although I have used a feather razor for the past 10 years. My wife bought me a razor and 3' latigo strop from SRD which are both beautiful. She also bought me a 4000/8000 norton (which was from classicshaving).

I have shaved with the razor three times and the experience has been incredible all three times. But in between shaves, I only strop the razor 12 times on the leather strop. I have not used the the webbed strop. Is 12 times enough? I don't want to overstrop (which is apprently what I used to do years ago and ruined some pretty straights). Also, should I be using the webbed strop? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

On a side note, the merchandise from SRD is incredible. The razor was truly shave ready and the first shave was worth the entire price of admission alone (made my feather razor seem like nonsense). The strop is also a thing of beauty.
