Thread: Stropping issues

Thanks for the suggestions guys! Yes, I think it may have to do with the shape of the doorknob.

I'm going to try threading some string through the loop and tying it to my towel rack instead. I should be able deduce from that if it's just a matter of getting a better attachment point.

If so, I'll likely get a lanyard and use that so it will be more stable regardless of the attachment point.

Jeremy - You may be right. I do cover a *lot* more surface area than your typical guy. I'm sure some of it is my stropping, but I may also need to touch them up more often than you guys do. I wonder if any other ladies have found this?

Each of them probably have 6 to 8 shaves under their belts.

Cool, I always used one attached to the door handle of my dorm bathroom when I had the TM Practice Strop, and it worked quite well. hope it sees you through this too.

Good luck, Cassie! Keep stropping and you'll get great results soon.

cheers,
Jeremy

I've read of people attaching their strops to a towel rack but it seems to me that would be an awkward angle to strop a razor. OTOH, some do it and get along fine. I like a door knob because it is the approximate height that pro barbers would have their strop hanging from, about waist high. Whatever an individual is comfortable with though.
