I have shaved with a feather razor for almost 15 years. I had a Dovo and TI during that time but both were factory honed and unpleasant to shave with so I scrapped them and stuck with the feather. I recently purchased a razor from SRD which was shave ready. I am about 15 shaves into the razor (and I strop 25 on canvas 50 on leather before each shave). After 15 shaves the razor is still very sharp and seems to still work as it did when I first got it (or at least 90%). My question is whether this is a sign my stropping is ok (or at least not awful) or is 15 shaves still early and I simply have not stropped it enough to botch it up?
