Gentlemen,
Today's question is about edge maintenance : Here and there, the advices are to touch up the edge often (5/7 shaves), qith some light laps on a fine stone (coti & water here), or with some paste (green puma most of the time).
Paste is told to make a convex bevel, stone is told to be "overkill" by some members : too strong to be made often.
So my questuion is : could it be possible to maitain an edge with good stropping on canvas & leather, doing regular sessions between each shave, and "power" sessions, maybie every 5/7 or 10 sahves)
Have some of you experienced this? Could this be a good idea, or not, & then could you tell me why?
Thanks.
Bertrand.
