Straight Razor Place Forums - View Single Post - Does a heavy draw require less stropping?

I have two strops: A TM Red/Latigo & a TM #1 Horsehide. The Red/Latigo has lotz of draw; the #1 Horsehide has little to none.

Regardless of the grind of the razor I am using, I'll do 40/50 on the Red/Latigo first, and finish up with at least 20 on the horsehide.

This seems to work beautifully for me, regardless of what razor I am using.
