Here is my standard after-shave routine using a 0.1um diamond pasted balsa strop:
I still strop on hanging clean leather before each shave. Generally about 50 to 60 very light laps.
This method keeps my edges at perfection, and dare I say they still actually improve with use?
- Wipe clean and dry razor
- 10 x regular light laps on hanging stop
- 4 x short X laps, two left to right and two right to left
- Repeat steps 2 & 3
- End-for-end the balsa strop
- Repeat steps 2 & 3
- Repeat steps 2 & 3 again
- Wipe blade clean (I use a piece of moist chamois)
