I've been reading from some sources that if you shave with the same blade everyday it might be detrimental to the fin to strop also everyday and you should only strop at most every 2 days. My question is: is that true?
I don't shave everyday so, from a practical point of view I don't really care weather it's true or not, it was just out of curiosity.
If I did shave everyday with the same razor I would be tempted to try and experiment stropping everyday and stropping every 2 days to see if there is a difference for the better. If that was the case I would then try to strop everyday while allowing the razor to "rest" on the freezer overnight, that's what I read you should do in some book about steel. That's not the same as putting cold steel in your face since you would strop before shaving and that way heat the steel.
