First - I received my razor/strop set today from SRD. The shipping was unreal. It was mailed Saturday and I am in NC.

Second - Is it strange that I am equally fascinated by the stropping and touch up aspect of straight razor shaving as the shave itself?

Finally, I began watching Lynn's youtube videos on stropping. He was stropping so fast and easy I was blown away. I learned more from his dialog than the visual aspect.

I scoured this board for information. I was overwhelmed at first but the jargon and advice began making sense.

Now, after watching the videos, I am back to square one.

I guess I just need to go with it and do my best. I also bought his dvd. Hopefully that will help.

Does everyone strop as fast as Lynn?

Take care,
Jason
