    Still, stropping might be quite harsh to fins in any case, and that happens just before shaving.

    Yes I agree, they also say:"If the razor is stropped too soon (or stropped incorrectly by moving it backwards and forwards without turning it over), the "fin" which is necessary for a close shave breaks off. Between six and fifteen shaves are possible without stropping in between."

    Then again, it might just be fairy tales.

    Look closely again at the above statement. Any validity they may have had flew directly out das fenster with that comment.

    I'm not advocating one way or the other, I just asked a question!
    I fail to see why they lose credibility, I'm pretty shure I can shave at least 6 times without stropping, it won't be a great shave, but possible, (that's what they say, they don't advocate it). In spite I agree that they want to sell, I also believe thay want to sell, so why would they give wrong advice if in the long run it's worse for them?
