Stropping ?
I do. Partly because it helps keep the razor shaving well. Partly because of the ritual and tradition.

Absolutely. I'm also one of those weirdos who strops after each shave as well. To me it makes sense that doing so ensures that the edge is absolutely dry prior to putting the razor away. But that may be bunk - I honestly don't know. However it is now part of my ritual to strop both before and after each shave.
It was in original condition, faded red, well-worn, but nice.
This was and still is my favorite combination; beautiful, original, and worn.
