Dear Fellow Razorheads-After consulting with you all and buying two strops, I wait 48 hours after shaving with my vintage MJung and stropped her. No paste on the felt nor the leather. 30 full strokes on the felt and 5 full strokes on the leather. VERY light pressure! Thank God for You tube! Blade shaves as good as it did on the forearm. Strangely, the edge of the blade closest to the pivot point seems to angle upward a bit-pretty sure that I didn't take any metal off. This is not possible, correct? Anyway, I carefully inserted her back in her pouch for another day of shaving!-Gearhead
