Thread: Why do they recommend using the Strop after shaving and before shaving?

Sharptonn: Well said. I am under no illusion that I know more than Neil about anything, paticularly this subject. I am not an "expert" in anything. This thread turned vitriolic when I asked a sincere question about "resting" the edge. I wasn't giving advice, I asked a question after recalling an article that I had read a while back written by a metallurgist concerning "his" findings on "resting" the edge. Then the childish insults started about "resting" the edge, putting th razor to bed, etc.. I apoligize for my part in the negativity posted here, I just hope that a new member to this site posting his first question with trepidation of asking a "dumb question" never gets a reception like this. Again my apologies, particularly to Neil.
