I've seen varying ideas about the number of laps one must use to prepare an edge for shaving on a strop. Some say only six passes others say 40+. So for the most part I'm confused, how many passes do I need to make. I primary use TI and the steel is supposed to be good. With the better steel would you need more passes due to it hardness or fewer since its so hard?
