I've just started to shave without stropping to see the number of shaves I can get. Unfortunately I'm only at number 3 (4 if you count the last stropping I did, which was on a piece of newspaper.

Good day,

I remember a few years ago doing an experiment and found that the longest I could go between stroppings was pretty close to the number of shaves I could get from a disposable before I tossed it.

Made sense to me . . .
