This may not be the premier location for this question, but ultimately it comes down to a stropping question...

How long can a pro-honed razor hold its edge and shave comfortably? Talking number of shaves here, not time in days or weeks or months.

The reason: I have no idea if I'm stropping correctly or if my strops (bought on the cheap) are good quality--I think they are from all of the reading I've done. But I know that the kings of SRP claim 2-3mos of great shaves on a strop alone. I had a less than perfect shave this morning for my 10th shave...not bad, but not quite like I remembered it for that glorious first shave.

If my stropping technique is bad I need to figure out what part of it is bad so I can make adjustments...therefore, I've come posing this question.

Thanks for your help folks,
