Ahhh! No debate my friend; Modern abrasives have come a hell-of-a-long way… maybe surpassing many of the best hones of yesteryear (believe me, I say that with trepidation) And I would probably agree stropping may not be necessary after a 30K (again with trepidation).
But I pinch myself when I remember how a razor’s edge looks after the shave.
I forgot where it is, but there was a post with a link to an old magazine article of a study on a razor edge after the shave and then after a stropping, there are a few microscope photos as well…. very interesting reading. I will post the link again if I find it.
