    After a fresh honing, mine go to a linen strop pasted with lead....yes lead, I'll say it, Rez.
    I'll do somewhere around 100 passes on that strop, then move to a Russian tanned for another 100. From this point I'll progress thru 2 or 3 strops ranging from heavy to light draw, finishing on a shell or Roo strop, at 50-60 passes each. Then its just 40-60 on leather, before and after a shave
