Thanked: 6I'm rather new at this, so the only thing I have is a Strop, Leather and Canvas sides... I think it's cotton but I'm not entirely sure.
Every day after my shave I strop the blade with the canvas side to dry them off and I strop them at night to have them ready for my morning shave next day.
At night I strop it on the canvas a few passes to heat the blades and then with the leather side for at least 60 pases. I do this every second day as I try to alternate the blades.
But as Kyriaco says, I'm also liking the TI better, I feel it's smoother and more forgiving than the Stainless blade. When I shave with the Dovo I feel like it's burning sharp and I start feeling some irritation if I do anything over 2 pases. The problem is that I usually have to do some touch ups as I can't get the shave as smooth as with the TI
Both were honed properly as I haven't got my hands into that yet.
