Before opening this thread I used the forums search and found only one thread in the DE section about this topic. Don`t know if you guys discuss that before for single edge blades, if so, don´t get bored or angry and let me know. I will ask if someone will delete this.
Back to topic. Anyone else strops his single edge blades?
Most of the time when I am shaving with a single edge razor, I am using GEM PTFE blades. I am aware that they are coated and some people will say therefore stropping maybe becomes unnecessary.
Using that blades I noticed that after the second shave, for me these blades loose some sharpness and smoothness, especially ATG. But stropping carefully 4 - 5 times each side on my left hands palm, before starting my shave, they get back some sharpness and shave pleasant again.
Do you got same experiences or do you know a better way to strop your GEM blades?
