I do both, and I also use the Big Daddy from Star. What a beast to break in, I have stropped my hand more than my razors!! I do 20-40 strokes on leather before a shave depending on my demeanor. Post shave, I dry my razor as best as possible then busy myself with cleaning and organizing the rest of my shaving arsenal. I return to a dry razor (I am in the desert) and strop it 40 times or so on the felt and 60-80 on leather. Finally I oil it, kiss it and tuck it away clean and happy to dream of rich lather and whisker chasing.
