Scott,

A thing to consider on stropping is this.
I strop the evening before. That way
I have more time in the morning for
shaving.

Now this is debatable, some other members
do this as well and other insist that you
should strop immediately before the shave.

Don't be afraid to experiment a little and
see what works for you.

As far as the razor enroute from Tony. If
you feel comfortable stropping it a few times
before shaving - go for it. Your going to
have to do it sooner or later and preferably
before the second shave......

I'm confident that you will do fine.
