Well, I got my first straight razor a few days ago, which is quite old and a bit rusty and needs to be restored... So, I took the razor and a dishrag, made an improvised strop out of it (jammed it between closet doors) and "stroped" the razor for few minutes, keeping an eye on edge and spine... I did about 80 passes and it felt quite relaxing (for me, not for the razor )...
Next step is restoring and proper honing...
Will post my progress...
