Thanked: 0New Razor/Stropping Question
I just received a Dovo Special from SRD. Fast shipping I might add, it shipped within an hour of ordering it. My question is this. I know that the razor was honed and is shave ready. Does shave ready mean I shouldn't strop it the first time? Also, I screwed up my strop a little the other day and it had a gouge/small tear in it. I fixed it with some rubber cement and it feels pretty smooth. There is a little divot on the very left edge but I generally don't "hit" that area when stropping in the X pattern. If stropping is required do I take the chance of screwing something up, taking into consideration that my stropping technique is still a work in progress.
