Gentlemen,

I will always consider myself a pilgrim in pursuit of knowledge and wisdom from the masters of the the straight razor. And some of you, indeed, are masters.

The subject may already have been covered in this learned forum and I apologize if I missed it. Tell me, what are your thoughts on stropping the razor after the shave is completed and resting the blade for the next shave?

I have heard differing views on the practice outside this forum, and in some writings by straight razor experts. I would like to hear from you, the masters. Thanks.

Regards,

Obie
