Thread: Counting while stroping

I've always counted while stropping for the daily shave, but can go either way. Normally, if I just honed a blade, I don't count, and usually grab a paddle. You can count in sets of ten if it's easier to remember. End each set with with the proper number, 10, 20, 30, etc...If that helps.

Wow.

Sometimes I count, sometimes I simply strop "a while".

Regarding stropping the exact number of strokes on each side...that's a joke right? I mean, I try to stay close to even, but because I do not *shave* with the same number of strokes on each side of the blade, it stands to reason that stropping inequality not be over-thought too much

I count as fast as I possibly can, and I still can't keep up with how fast I am stropping

I have found that if I blink I miss at least three laps... which screws up my count



You know I am messing with ya right

I just will the blade to be prepared.

After this, the blade is so sharp that my beard spontaneously leaps off my face and scatters like cockroaches at the mere sight of the blade.

I have found that when you strop at those speeds it is easier to count seconds. 5 laps/second for 10 seconds and your done.
