So I am just starting this straight razor shaving. Got my new straight and strop. Well, Im pretty sure that my first few strops were awful, and i lifted the spine so i am pretty confident I rolled my edge. The razor is tugging and just does not seem to want to cut through my lather, let alone my beard. Oh well, I have a sight unseen razor coming from Whipped Dog, so at least when I get that I will know what a well honed razor feels like. I will also have something to use as I send my other razor out to get a good edge put back on it. (No way I am playing with honing yet). Live and learn. Hopefully, live and learn to strop properly.
