Thread: Hone and Pinning questions

Engine46 wow what a bunch of wonderful stones. Impressive !
Thank all of you guys for taking time to help me out. I just can't say Thanks enough.

I'm on an old Iphone and still figuring tap talk out. No I hadn't found the library yet. So I really appreciate the link. You guys really are the greatest.

I've spent my time trying to figure out restoration. I've watched a few shave videos. But I just haven't thought much about stroping.

I have a little Chinese Ren-Ren strop. I got in lot purchase not long ago. It has a rough swede leather side and the other side is maybe reconstituted leather ( looks like leather cork). I'm guessing this is not what we are talking about.


My blade is 3" wide this want to be strop is right at 2".

Normally you won't be stropping straight up and down but doing 'x' strokes. In general the width of the strop is immaterial. The quality of the strop is paramount. Good 2-1/2, 2-3/4 and 3 inch strops at a reasonable price are available from a number of reputable vendors, many of whom are SRP members in the vendor section. Check their threads and then you can make an informed decision and add to your knowledge of shaving.
