Thanked: 2209Ask Classicshaving if that razor was sent to Lynn Abrams. If not then the razor needs to be honed. Post a thread in the honing forum asking for someone to hone the razor for you.
Rubbing the strop with your hands will put oil on the strop. A couple of drops of lexol should also work.
An abrasive pasted paddle strop to maintain the edge sharpness is a higher priority than a hone right now. For abrasives use 1.0 micron and 0.5 micron.
Just before each shave strop for 30-50 roundtrip laps. Use the abrasive pasted paddle strop only when the razor starts to pull while shaving.
Hope this helps,Randolph Tuttle, a SRP Mentor for residents of Minnesota & western Wisconsin
