The two times I put my straights to the stones (a Shapton 12k synthetic), I didn’t have the impression that it was rough - maybe I 'm lacking the proper comparison. I used 100 strokes on unpasted denim, and 200 on clean leather.

That’s a lot more stropping than I do. I do maybe 30 or 50 on loaded canvas and it’s done.
I’m realising it’s really difficult to compare methods over a text based forum😅

If you’re not loaded, you have to strop longer 🤣

@PorkButtsNTaters666
😂 very true!
How much do you strop between shaves?
