I've seen some advice that says if you receive a shave-ready razor and you're a beginner, to avoid ruining a good edge you should not strop before the first shave - just clean the oil off and go. That way you'll have an idea of what a good edge feels like. However, others recommend that you should always strop. I have a feeling that I know where the majority lies, but now I'm just curious.
EDIT - Can a mod remove the end date from the poll? I thought I set it to 0 for indefinitely, but maybe I didn't. I can't figure out how to edit the poll either...
