Hi,

I just purchased my first straight razor recently. It is a Gold Dollar 66 honed and made shave ready before I bought it.

I just completed my first complete shave, even though there are patchy areas of stubble in trouble area on neck.

I bought a Star Shaving paddle strop with red and black leather. The red side had more draw. Can anyone help me in determining how many passes I should strop on each side?

Happy to be getting into a straight! I've been using DE's for 7 months now!
