Thread: The winner...is Pirelli?

Pay close attention newbies. I am certain that Depps version of Sweeney Todd has attracted many of you to "the way of the straight" But Depp has no grasp on proper stropping technique, on the other hand Pirelli ( Sacha Baron Cohen), while not perfect shows a much better grasp of proper stropping and shaving. Cohen also needs a little help but at least his razor is going in the proper direction across the strop. Take notice: Depp strops spine trailing. A big no no...unless you don't mind shredding your beautiful new strop and ruining your edge on your professionally honed razor you just got from Lynn or some other honemeister. Now note Cohens stropping: edge trailing. Done in a confident and quick manner. ( As a newbie slow is okay but try to pickup speed after you get your technique down ) The only real failure I see in Cohens stropping is that it appears that he lifts the spine. An experienced stropper may get away with this but it is a disaster waiting to happen, especially if you are not experienced.
