Scott,

Good points. I'm not clear on what is happening as a third step either. Maybe a sharpness test, maybe more stropping. I know there are a few people who use a variety of strops, like grit...

After my edge begins to dull a bit I often start getting down to business with the strop. My stropping begins to look more like that posted in this video.

This looks like a shaving convention. ...
