Obie, with that many strokes, is there a point when you can almost "feel" that things are lined up correctly and ready to go? I was generally doing 30/60 linen/leather, but often would keep going on the leather because is was relaxing. I often find that at around 75 - 80 strokes, it feels like there is less draw, or the strokes seem smoother. I haven't known whether this was my imagination, whether I was just "in the groove" and in a good rhythm with my strokes, or whether I was actually feeling the razor's edge becoming ready for a smooth shave.
