Today I tried the Valet Autostrop (12C?). For a single-edge razor with a new Feather blade, it is surprisingly mild. I expected it to require extra care, but I just let 'er rip--so to speak.
It also appears that the Feather blade is not wide enough. It only contacts the blade stop on the right side (looking at the front of the razor) and not on the left. The razor held the blade securely, though, and it shaved fine.
The strop I found needs work, so I've not yet experienced the uniqueness of the automatic stropping with the Autostrop.
