I'm afraid to count them, but based on having something like 15 to 20 strops .... like any normal person ... both vintage and current. I've never even put neatsfoot on a leather strop. Never washed one with saddle soap or shaving soap. I rub them with the palm of my hand every so often and all but one of them work fine.
I do have one dubl duck I got off of the bay that needs some TLC and that is the one I planned to try the shaving soap and bottle on. It won't make the old thing any worse so I can't lose one way or the other and some day I may actually try it but if your strop is working don't fix it. Just IMHOBe careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.
