Fred:
I realize this is a very delayed post, but I have 5 of the Model C Auto Strops, and would beg to differ with the gentleman who said stropping has no effect on Feather blades. I‘m both a daily head and face shaver. I treat the blades as I would one of my straights and strop each blade 40 times minimum the night before I plan to use the razor. My favorite model is the VC4, but all the Model C’s I own are great shavers. I can easily get 20-28 shaves per blade.
