Thread: Razor Dulling & Stropping

Thanks for the advice and encouragement fellas! I spent my free time last night stropping away at a couple of razors, and snuck in a test shave. It looks like some good progress has been made to the Imperial EHG by putting the strop on a table edge instead of hanging. Stropping like this is like black magic to me....you can't see a change, and you can't hear much going on, but it IS making a change to the edge. Crazy. Got my first strop nick though, but it's not too bad. It's toward the handle end, and mostly avoidable, but one of these nights I'll get out some sandpaper and smooth it out. I'll look into softer alternatives than canvas, like the Herringbone mentioned.
