Thank you for your reply. Somehow, I always thought of straight razor shaving as being back in the 1870's... LOL

I am eager to learn... after all, my face is a quick learner.

What is it with the paste?

I have no problem owning a few strop/linen combos, various uses... I don't know... you guys tell me. I saw a video where Lynn must have had six strops hanging from a rail, so I assume there are various strops for various needs.

Do you put the paste on the leather, or the linen side? And how do you work it??

Please instruct one that wants to know.
