I thoroughly dry it as well as inside and outside the scales, then I give it about 50 on the leather side of the strop. I want to avoid any oxidation and it is stored out of bathroom.
Anyway, I'm still learning and had an "ahah" moment shaving my neck. It was successful using angled strokes first WTG/XTG and ATG. This required a very light touch and with the spine almost flat. It felt good that I missed my jugular! Seriously, this was the first time in that area with minimal irritation/redness. It felt good. Used Nivea shave balm followed by Palmers Cocoa Butter lotion.
Thanks for any input you have!:)
