After reading here GREAT posts about stropping techniques and methods i decided to try a few and i found one that has GREATLY improved my shaves.
After a few shaves , and i mean very few...like 3 or 4 i would take my blade for a touch up to the coticle...quick 20-30 strop pasess and ready to go....but something was always itching....Lynn and heavyduty have told me that a good honed blade should give you at least 1 to 2 months of good shaves.... having those blade honed by both of them i thought the problem was on the stropping.

Before i will choose one strop and use it exclusive for the whole thing...after reading that it is ok to do variations i decided to try ...and this combination has really bring me a really really sharp good edge.

I will choose a "rough" strop like a illinois or bismarck....they have really thick dark leather ( i think tonny millers would be the latigo) and then a really soft gentle one like the dovo best russian leather xl.
I will do 10 passes on the canvas, 30 on the rough one ( wich i bealieve because of the strong drag has a i am putting the edge straight now kind of thing) and then 30 gentle passes in the soft leather.

This has bring my shaves to a new level, and also has gave another excuse to spend an extra few minutes obsessing about new techniques and props.

I really feel that this progression is aligning and finishing the blade much better than using a single kind of leather...like would be when honing going from the 8k to the coticle....i feel the same here.

After seeing how can a good strop affect the shave....my next project is to stock up in some Tony Miller strops....i will keep you posted after i try them....I have heard so many times they are the best...i can't wait to get a couple....i am right know in "letting the wife settle" mode....getting ready for my next purchase....o lord she loves to scream and talk nonsense....i think talking about the wifes behaviour towards our compulsives buys deserves another thread...anybody up for it?
Thanks everybody for all the info...
ciao
