    One thing I know as "I can see it" something comes off on the linen, that I don't particularly want embedded in my leather, that is a fact in my mind, I have the strops and the pics to prove it (that was for MLA just messing with ya brother)

    Now the "Better Shave" argument has been going on for years and honestly I can't tell the difference in the shave myself so that is of no issue to me.

    I got in the habit of always using Linen after honing because if there is a weak spot or flaw in the edge that your eyes/tests miss the Linen will find it, basically IMHO if the edge is too fagile for Linen stropping then the edge is too fagile.. (that might be for another thread)

    Count me in the 25/50 Linen/Leather before each shave club...


    -HOWEVER-

    If were using the same razor everyday I could be convinced that there is no time to build up the micro-corrosion on the edge that the Linen seems to remove, just another thought..
