Saturday Morning Further Experimentation
Sometimes I am a hard head. I went back to the drawing board with the Vintage Enders blade and tried stropping it about 30-40 times. It was much smoother (enough for a three pass shave) but the efficiency was also diminished. Next trial is cutting down the stropping to just about five laps. I have plenty of the NOS Enders Vintage blades to experiment on. Actually dried down to a nice DFS shave. Proof of Concept.
