Palm stropping

The guy in that article says this (admittedly about 1930s blades):

If you want a better shave, throw away the tumbler and take a new blade; or else invest in a ten-cent holder, and strop your used blades, as you used to do the old straight razor.
​

I've read about someone using a pasted strop with Feather Artist Club blades and getting a month of shaves from a blade. Not tried it myself.

yes re stroppping the 1930s blades I believe he is saying no to palm stropping and yes to stropping on leather/linen, now I just need to figure out what "a ten-cent holder" is...

wow. Stropping an AC blade must be tricky. And dangerous!
