Shave ready razor from SRD...
Had my first shave with my new DOVO 6/8 White Bone Bismarck and it was awesome! I stropped before shaving on the leather only. When should I begin to incorporate my untreated linen side of the strop? How many passes do you all suggest on the linen side before going to the leather?
Thanks so much,

Gentlemen,
As a rule, I do 25 strokes on the canvas and 50 to 75 on the leather. That seems to work well for me. Occasionally I will do 50 strokeson canvas and 100 on the leather for the Wackers.

Hello, Jim,
As I understand it, the Wackers in general have a much harder steel. That's why I use more laps on the strop. The addition seems to give my razor a sharper, crisper edge.
