I do pretty much the same thing as Obie does. Strop before & after the shave around ten strokes or so on the linen & around ten on leather also. It does help to dry the blade after using a tissue or absorbent cloth like an old t-shirt cut into a few pieces. I like to put a drop or two of Tuf-Glide on the pivot once dried to help protect it. I also have a Marine Tuf-Cloth & wipe the blade once which puts a very light protective coating on the blade but isn't necessary if you only have one or two razors you alternate between. The main thing is keeping the razor dry & keeping water spots off. A few strokes of the strop before & after shaving will help keep the blade dry & sharp but will never hurt it.
