Are you still going stropless?
djundjila@sub.wetshaving.social 3 days ago
Yes, but I made it back to home base after almost 4 weeks of travelling today, and I think I might strop for tomorrow’s morning shave. I’m curious about the difference!

In this case would you do extra stropping, or just the normal amount of stropping?
djundjila@sub.wetshaving.social 3 days ago
In my limited experience, stropping has diminishing returns really quickly. After 10 or so laps, I don’t feel any progress, so I just did my usual roughly 8-12 laps, and the edge got notably smoother than yesterday.
