Hi guys, I'm a newbie, awaiting my first SE razor which I purchased shave ready from shooter74743 in the classifieds.

I also ordered the 'Big Mama' strop on ebay from star shaving, it has a leather strop and a wool felt strop which I intent to paste one side of with CrO.

My question is, will this be enough (provided i learn how to properly strop and such) to indefinitely maintain the edge on my razor?

I'm a poor college student so I'm trying to keep my investment into this to a bare minimum.

I'm sure Shooter did a great job on it, so it would be up to me to preserve that edge, but i'm just curious will I inevitably have to hone it on a stone even If i maintain it diligently with the strop and CrO.


Thanks guys.
