I always figured stropping is required after a shave, since I have stopped doing this a few times my shave hasn't gotten worse.
Hence my question, what should I be looking for as a sign it needs to be stropped.
Otherwise I will continue to strop removing more metal than is needed and end up wearing my blade out much more quickly.
