He's flipping the razor over on the leading side, which means either the edge is trailing (back-honing?), or he is destroying the edge :) If the edge is trailing, I guess you'd have to know that the strap is abrasive enough to be called a honing strap

Hard to tell what it is though through all the tears and laughter

"The Great Dictator" - I've seen that movie several times and it always cracks me up - I like specially when he plays the other character - the mad dictator Hinckel.
I absolutely love Chaplin's movies. He's a genius.

Thanks for posting.

He doesnt know anything about honing, hence the stropping motion;) He shouldnt be doing the HHT after honing too;) If he was honing.
Just look at his lather:rolleyes:

I dont think it was made to demonstrate a real straight shave guys. lol
