If normal steel takes 50 laps will the new steels take 100?

I was wondering about stropping different steels. I have some older Carbon razors that are made of very good steel but the new forging TI's are made of some very hard steel. Do the new TI's need more laps on the strop to get the desired results? I am thinking of getting a new forging but that is something to consider if you are going to use it as an everyday shaver.


Take Care,

Not that I've noticed.

I've got three of the new TI steel and they seem like any other razor to me. Any other really good razor I might add. I do my usual stropping routine with them and so far so good.

Stropping is stropping whether its made of bronze or kryptonite.

I want a kryptonite razor....

Stropping is stropping whether its made of bronze or kryptonite.

Honing might be a slightly different game.

Your face is the ultimate judge. If yours shaves
as good as mine does who cares.

BTW, that green stuff on the back of some strops is
for polishing Kryptonite edges.

You just have to remember the green kryptonite is affected by the red so if you have the green in the razor you just get the red on a hone and your all set.
