Thread: How many laps for a noob

How many laps should I do on my strop? Simple question, stock answer is to find what works for you but a noob just starting out does not know what works for them, in fact they probably won't be able to tell the difference because they are struggling with all the other factors that go into a good straight razor shave.

What I am looking for is a recomended starting point. I have only been at this a couple months so I am still pretty noobish myself and don't feel I can give a valid answer.
