    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    That's old hat. If you want you razor rested and energized for the next days shave here is what you do.

    You attach your razor to a kite and when an electrical storm comes you run it up with a heavy copper wire and run like the dickens with it. The lightning strike will impart magical properties and you will get the best shave of your life. (just make sure you're wearing rubber gloves and rubber boots)

    This is one of those twice a year threads isn't it? I think 5 he consensus previously was possibly but maybe not. For what it's worth, I generally use the same razor for weeks or months on end and strop on leather only after the shave only. The only time I strop first is if have refreshed my razor with a hone.

    hehe! This was basically my first question on this forum 8 years ago!

    The answer today seems to be the same as it was then. And the jokes haven't improved over time either!
