    Default Stropping a Cartridge

    So in the link provided, there are two YouTube videos embedded. The first is of a dude who is using denim to strop his cart - its short and includes close up photos of the blade before and after stropping.

    The second is of some dude who gave up on his straight but is now marketing strops just for carts.

    Its entertaining! For me, a straight guy, it was very entertaining!

    Enjoy:

    I was prowling auction sites for barber hones and came across a hone in a wooden box meant to be used with a cartridge. I thought it was overkill.

    Remember that the only real test is the shave test.

    So getting HHT11+ isn't as important on the cartridges?

    That's correct. The only real test is the shave test. By the way, it works!
