Very interesting, i did a lot of reading lately about stropping, 1 thread comes to mind,http://straightrazorpalace.com/strop...ping-king.html, been playing around with pressure, paying close attention to sounds and feel on the strop. Being part of the JA/norton4k/8k and doing a lot of stropping going for a more pleasureable shave, there is definately something to be learned on the strop, my undrestanding is when you feel and listen you would know when to stop or continue, im not quite there
yet but i see a definate improvement then the usual lets say 30 linen and 60 leather, its really not about the passes on the strop,
its knowing when its ready!!
