When doing a touch up, what is the number of laps you do? I know it should pass the TPT. But if you keep your laps to with in #X & #Z what would it be. I'm getting BBS but I also add another pass to my shaves. I start with WTG, then I do XTG ( Example: chin to ear), then I do ATG & ending with another XTG (example: Ear to chin). That has been giving me some nice BBS shaves every time.

I do about 20-40 laps before the first pass on a strop, then after the shave I do 10-20 laps. I don't push hard on the strop with the blade. I also do about 20-30 laps on the pasted paddle strop every other weeks. But it feels like I'm losing little of the sharpness.
