When I first started reading up on how to shave with and maintain a straight razor here, it seemed that the consensus on stropping ran toward "50 on linen (or cloth, webbing, etc)/100 on leather"--so that's what I did for probably a couple of years. But then as I continued to read I encountered recommendations to strop only on the leather pre-shave and only use the cloth for stropping post-shave to clean the edge. And then I sent a razor off to gssixgun for a restoration, and he recommended not stropping more than 50 laps so that the edge would last longer between honings. So I decided to experiment. First I tried stropping only on the leather pre-shave, about 80 laps, and on cloth and leather (20/40) post-shave. That didn't seem to give as comfortable a shave as my former stropping routine, but I wasn't sure whether it was because of fewer laps or because of stropping only on leather pre-shave. So instead of doing the scientific thing and only changing one variable, I changed everything: pre-shave, I stropped 20 laps on the webbing and 60 on the leather, and 15/30 post-shave. I've been using this routine for about 6 months now, and my shave are every bit as comfortable as when I was stropping 50/100. And my edges last just as long or maybe a bit longer. So for me, at least, I'd have to say that I get a more comfortable edge using both components of the strop pre-shave but at fewer laps than when I started out, than just stropping on leather alone. And as always, YMMV.
