    Welcome to SRP

    Most will recommend stropping before every shave. I do before and after

    Hi and welcome. Stropping is just as important as your face prep and you want to be doing it every shave to keep your blade at it's best. Follow the advice given go slow and you will be fine. Good luck

    Welcome to,SRP Maduro,
    You will soon know if not already, it is a definite recommendation to strop before shaving but if you don't have a strop yet, if you have a light beard you may get a couple in ok, but if a heavy beard a lot less, in the interim until a strop is purchased you can apparently just strop on a folded newspaper, some denim jeans, etc and if real keen your palm is also used but not recommended
    Check the stopping threads I am sure there is more there also just to keep the edge aligned and smoothed out happy shaving take your time and enjoy the benefits
    Saved,
    to shave another day.

    I'm gonna hold off until the strop arrives before my next shave. I've shaved three times thus far. Another quick question? What's the best cream and the best place to find them. Right now I'm using Eshave products....

    Thx again

    Best cream.....

    That is going to get you a lot of answers all of which will be user opinion

    Castle Forbes. Trufitt and Hill - both excellent
    Taylor of Bond Street CO Bigelow cheaper but nice.
