Thanked: 90I'm with you here. I think a lot of guys just like stropping for the ritual of it and rationalize that they're getting a better shave. I find that 3-4 laps on the linnen side, and 7-8 laps on the leather before the shave, and nothing after the shave is all I've ever needed to maintain an edge.
