and if so how many times do do you strop after a shave and what is the point as the next time you bring the razor out you going to strop before you shave anyway
20 on linen, 20 on leather. The point is to dry the edge more thoroughly than a person could do with a tissue, while cleaning and realigning the edge, and placing a very thin coat of oil(from the strop) on the razors edge, effectively protecting it from rust. And also, because I won't be stropping before the next shave, unless it's 24 hours before the next one, and I just finished a shave. :p
