    Default What is my strop trying to tell me?

    I strop my razor 40-50 times before each shave. The strop is narrower than the blade width. I've noticed that the strop seems to be roughed a bit on the right hand side near where the strop hangs from the vanity. Am I doing something wrong? I'm using strop oil and it seems to restore the leather

    Looks to be some nicks and your running the stabilizer on the edge kinda hard. , but that's just my thought. Tc

    I agree with Tc.
    Also looks like your flipping the razor before you finish your stroke.
