Thread: Is over stropping possible?

I think practically speaking the answer would be no. But as far as I know no one has ever taken a razor out to say 1000, 2000 laps and lived to tell the tale. Probably the only way to do tests to failure would be to make a stropping machine of some kind.

But it really is hard to see how you could ruin an edge with proper stropping - it's not like you are bending the metal back and forth when you strop, for example, and causing fatigue.
