Not the Ingersol but I use the DD stropper regularly. Pre-stropping Pathology blades just to take the medical slice off them and then stropping before each shave after about 5 shaves on the blade. I go to 7 or 8 shaves. For comparison, 3 DE and it's done, proper done; 5 SE and it's done, proper done.

DD made their own stropper as well? Another piece of kit to look for.
The Ingersoll stropper just arrived today with a Duplex DuBarry. I'll have to track down some instructions online.

Yup. I recently bought a Durham strop attachment. It replaces the comb. It can also be used to shave without a guard.
Standalone stroppers, too ...

We are ... I just got carried away with the other variations. I do that 
I had been using Personna ArmorEdge 61-0417 blades from Home Depot (see more here: http://badgerandblade.com/vb/showthread.php/435555-Durham-Dorset). I have since picked up a bunch of vintage DD blades and have found the Personna carpet cutter blades to be sharper. Of course, I believe I've been trying used Durham blades so far. I also picked up a Twinplex stropper designed for Durham blades and it was able to take an ugly, dull vintage blade to SAS-condition. Guess I have more experimentation to do.

Do you have a picture of the Twinplex stropper? I managed to get an Ingersoll stripper, but haven't played with it yet.
I did get the ArmorEdge and agree that they seem better than what I was using. I've now got the 300, DuBarry and Dorset in regular rotation. My folding razor should be here Monday. A new toy to try!
Here is a picture of the stropper with blades for size comparison. The Durham Duplex model is wider to accommodate the larger (than "Gillette-style") blade size.
