I am absolutely adicted to stropping, i strop at random times, i think about stropping a lot, in the rare moments that i have 3 minutes free when in my house if i come across my shaving den i will strop diferent blades in all the diferent stropes i have, i find it very therapeutic ...i just love stropping.

You and me both, Brother...

There is just something soothing about stropping a razor until the draw is just right, and watching it silently pass through hairs without a sound-that's when I think, this one's going to shave G-R-E-A-T.
Of course, being a military man, I have to then jam the edge through a car door, pry it with a crowbar, hack a medium sized tree down without resharpening, then shave....err....wait a minute. That's the ColdSteel commercials.
Never mind.
Still,
I do enjoy getting a razor "ready".

You may be addicted to stropping, but, there are worse things...

There's something for me, as a noob, about the concentration in trying to make each pass perfect. It's almost zen-like. I hope that it doesn't go away as my confidence increases.
