I agree with Flyman...it seems to me that when the razor
is "ready", it feels like there's a bit more draw, not less.

However...I readily concede that this may be only a
personal experience, related to my razors, my strop,
my technique. Or it might even be a function of the
razor/strop heating up, due to friction. I dunno....

Others may have an entirely different experience, so
don't take this as gospel.
