I have a question, first I have only been shaving with a straight razor for 4 weeks. Started with a shavette, and then got a Boke king cutter. I have a board strop with leather on one side and I guess it is a fabric or different type of leather on the other. Before I shave I have been stroping the leather only for about 30 to 35 times. I have been shaving with the boke for about 8 times, but the other day I went to the shavette and I could tell the difference. The Shavette was smoother. So I know that I am not getting a good edge on the razor
So now: should I be using the fabric (?) first to strop and then go to the leather…The Boke is from srd, so I know it has been honed. How many times of the Fabric and then on the leather..
