    Default stropping from a beginner

    Dear Newbies

    my past experiences I ruined the edge on a new razor had to resend it to get it honed found out an easier and much more efficient way of stropping.

    cut a strip of cardboard box place it on the edge of a table and practice stropping on it with correct technique and finish it with a newspaper again place it on the edge of the table to finish the stropping .

    what i found is this maintains the sharpness on the edge.

    the other alternative is use the leather strop and place flat on the edge of the table to practice stropping technique.

    I have nicked my leather strop many times hanging it in the bathroom

    hope is helps

    now I am very very happy with the sharpness of the balde.

    Good info here. I will be taking a break from my leather strop to try this.

    Thanks for the tip!
    I'm sure it will save many strops from premature retirement.
