    It helps prepare the razor for a better shave. Maybe it doesn't sharpen the blade by certain technical definitions, but a stropped blade cuts the beard more efficiently and effectively than an unstropped blade so I say it does make it sharper

    Stropping burnishes the razor's bevel (or bevels, as some folks like to say) - perhaps by clearing off impurities such as oxidation. Why this makes the shave more comfortable I am not sure
