I do ~ 30. I am still getting use to the sound while stropping...

30 to 50 seems to be an average from what I've read. I do 50 & 50 linen/leather out of habit. thebigspendur did a thread called the 'great experiment' IIRC and found that past 60 there was no added benefit. Of course YMMV.

after honing i do 60/linen/30 on the trio horse seude type leather which is realy nice then i finish 30 on the cordaven leather. before shave i do 20/20/20. i have the 80k trio model and love the leathers this is my every day strop now.

FWIW Ambrose on B&B is making his own strops now and supposedly they're awesome and way cheaper than a Kanayama.

Ambrose (Jose) does indeed do some very nice work!

I'm having a hard time shelling out the coin for a K when Ambrose and others work so well.

Maybe when I get perfect at stropping I'll go with K.

Very glad that I ordered when I did. Took about a week to reach Chicago. Looks like new shipping regulations will prevent future shipments to the USA...
