Dick, I have to agree, my Ever Ready stropping device just does not give the same results probably because as you have mentioned plain leather alone just doesn't cut it, however when using my home made stropping handle and the two abrasive pasted strops and then just on leather I am getting great results, the super light touch seems to be key.Greetings
I'm a little surprised that the blades are doing so well, I don't seem to be able to keep an Autostrop blade going this well, probably because you are realistically confined to the automatic stropper (unless you fit a temporary spine) and I am not very fond of any autostropping device that I have tried yet; including the Magnus Stropper included with some of the Heljestrand sets, it's just not possible to properly control the pressure and it's certainly not possible to use a super light touch!
I have found like you that I can't seem to keep the blades going on plain leather alone, you do need to use some sort of abrasive paste even if not for every shave.
Regards
Dick.
