Grandmas response to straight shaving

[Nickelking]

Yesterday I told my beloved grandma that I was going to start using a straight razor. She responded "My father used to use a straight razor, I know that because he used a strop. My mother also used a strop and it really hurt!"

I just had to share that... The End.

Yep. All the old folks around here remember the strop doing double duty.

I have heard all it took was just one strop spanking experience to cure even the stubborn ones

When I got my old 1940 strop from ebay I had to try it out on my niece & nephew. I told them to remember this and tell their grandkids. Now one of their favorite games is to sneak up on the other with the strop and POW!

I heard that discipline is a good method
of keeping the strop supple...

Indeed the strop is coated with all the essential oils necessary during this activity.

I would be worried about the other substances that might coat the strop.
