@razorguy,

I tried it out today on a razor that I re-honed from a light 8K, 12K, 5 CrOx felt, 5CrOx leather, 50 or so leather strop, 10 on hand prior to first pass, 5-10 before second, 5-10 before 3rd, 4th and 5th passes(just kidding, only 3 passes)

It's hard to tell if there was any appreciable difference between my honing skills getting appreciably better and shaving skills improving, etc., .

Still, though, I had one of the best shaves to date. To be clear, I am *not* attributing the success to hand stropping.
