Thread: Stropping between passes

Not to sound snobby, but if your technique is good and you are working with a good blade, i don't think it is something I would want or need to do.The better my technique get, the less quickly the edge deteriorates. When learning, I use to ruin edges very quickly on my XXcoarse Sicilian Stuble. My beard has the consistancy of black electrical wire. It is all about touch and skewing the blade. This week learning that point leads are good has made me as happy as a pig in S*&^t as I don't have to depend on the heal lead.More strokes in my arsenal. If you have any heavy areas that you 90 degree plow your edge will go down very fast.
Such a multifaceted art, the art of honing, the art of stroping, the art of lathering and prep and sometimes the least understood art of the shave itself.
