I guess that all those great shaves I got off of the 8K weren't so great! I never used a 'treated strop' I still don't. I have them but only use them on rare occasions. But the pasted strop only gets about 5-7 laps and the strop is only 14" long.

However all freshly honed razors do get a about 100 laps on cloth followed by few hundred laps on leather and that's whether or not the freshly honed blade has touched a treated strop or not.

To Each Their Own.
