My stropping routine before shaving is 60 laps on the linen and 60 on leather. After 5-10 shaves, some razors up to 20 the shaves become less smooth and comfortable. After a touch up on the Escher followed by Cr2O3 pasted strop gets the razor to my liking again. Just a touch-up on the Cr2O3 pasted strop does not improve the razor's perfomance enough for me. I only use it to soften the edge after the hones.
My question: do you guys use abrasive pastes on a daily basis?
What do you use? Do you use it on the leather or on the linen?
