In the spirit of doing something by Close of Business vs First Thing in the Morning: is there any difference between stropping the SR you intend to use the next morning before heading to bed, versus stropping said razor right before the shave? I've started stropping the evening before a shave because: my coordination and dexterity is better than in the morning (don't want to nick a new strop), to cut down on the noise (I'm usually up and moving before my wife and I normally hang the strop from the bathroom door handle, requiring the door to be open), I have my hearing aids in at night so I can hear the sound of the blade on the strop. It's slight, but it does shortens the morning shave time slightly. I can attach the strop to other points in the bathroom, but the mechanics are off (door handle is waist-high). My reasoning for there not being an issue stropping the night before, is that if you send a razor out to be honed, common practice is to not strop it before its first use. I haven't noted a difference between an edge that's stropped the evening before vs the morning of, I'm just curious if there's a valid reason why one wouldn't want to strop the night prior to the shave (other than habit). Thoughts?
