Thread: Stropping after a shave?

Never thought there was a reason to strop after shaving. Hey it's like kissing a woman after you have had sex...l

I strop after every shave because Lynn does, I just figured it's the right thing to do.

This letting the edge rest theory, I don't know.
Be interesting to find out where that idea started.
I just figure if a lot of old time barbers sbscribed to the idea what harm could it do to rest the edge, provided it's dried by whatever other means.

Every time a razor is stropped an angel gets his wings.
Do it at every opportunity!
