Thanked: 983Stropping after is not absolutely essential for the shave, but it will go a long way to keeping your razors edge rust free,as it will aid in the drying process when it's all said and done.

Thanked: 485Remember, regardless of if you strop before and/or after (I do 30/70 before, 10/10 after (linen/leather) one of the WORSE things you can do is loose concentration while stropping and 'roll' the edge. Start with fewer strokes, but make them good strokes. I tend to lose concentration after 70.
It'll be interesting to hear how you go on the first shave. Remember REALLY light strokes, and resist the temptation to do too much the first time. You could probably really stay away from your neck for now; maybe you haven't go a lot of hair there anyway.Stranger, if you passing meet me and desire to speak to me, why should you not speak to me? And why should I not speak to you?
