Thread: Questions from an idiot

Do not stop the razor on the strop, ever. Keep it in forward motion and roll it as it moves forward. It should touch down again on the strop as you begin the return movement. Use light pressure at first. You can use a touch of pressure as you learn when and why to use extra pressure. Its a sign of a dull edge.

Please feel free to describe how you use .5 paste. If that alone dulls the razor then stop. But we can fix that too if we know more info.

Hone suction is a good thing, its simple cohesion between a smoothing bevel and the hone grit.
