Welcome to SRP Chippy. Here is a PDF with a very useful writeup on honing and stropping from a 1961 barber manual in the SRP Wiki.
Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

I used to strop my knives after sharpening on a stone. Have not done that for a while, don't know why I stopped. Works on a knife just as well as a razor.
