All:
Thank you for the responses! For those that maintain their edges into the months/years with only stropping could you elaborate on your technique? Do you strop leather only, or linen then leather? And how many passes? I'm beginning to think I'm not stropping enough...current routine about 20 on the linen and 40 on the leather (A SRD 3 inch for those who are interested). Maybe I should up it to about 50 linen 50 leather? I tried that this morning and got a great shave (but the blade was just honed about a week ago so this is only it's third or fourth shave).
