Dang, 200 leather-I thought I was bad! We compulsive stroppers should start an SA chapter (1st names only, of course!) so we can go to meetings, have sponsors, etc. We can call each other, day or night, if we're about to touch a strop lol!

And by the way, those barbers just doing a few laps may have had several guys waiting for the chair. I would be surprised if many of them, after hours, didn't pull out their fine coti's, thuris, or what have you, and really tweak out some exquisite edges, maybe even stropping more than the perfunctory 6-10 laps. After all, there was probably competition in the trade for who gave the smoothest shave back in the day.
