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 🤣

I do 30 on canvas to make sure the blade is dry, and then 50-70 on leather. And you?

Same! I do 15 on canvas and 25 on leather right before the shave, and again right after, so 30 and 50 like you
