Been stropping my Mach 3 blade for 9 months now with a pair of jeans and
getting a good shave, as stropping like that only does one side what
could I use to strop the other sides?

The annoying thing is that on a TV programme years ago, where people
were invited to present their "inventions" and the patent lawyers worked
through them, someone converted the drive from a battery drill to drive
a drum to "strop" such blades. He too found that he could greatly extend
their life. The patent lawyers said that he could take it no further, as
one of the razor companies had patents that covered any such device.

I knew some body would suggest this.
It does not actually work you know. There is no strange quantum effect from
such a shape.

You might well laugh, but don't you think it odd
that while most of the Ancient Assyrians had bushy
beards, the men anyway, most of the Ancient Egyptians
were either clean shaven, or had very neat goatee
beards ?

But there's no real difference there, to a stropping wheel as used
on a bench grinder for chisels.

Which have probably existed in one form or another ever since
wheels were used for sharpening things like swords etc.
