Thread: Please help ! I have a honing question

For my Mach 111 I just Palm Strop it before and after each use. Adds 2-3 doz more shaves to each blade.
I check it after each use with my computer microscope for excessive wear. With the Palm Stropping none has shown up. (The PalmStropping before shaving levels off the 'fin'.)

By the way, I also keep it on a magnet when not in use.
Good luck, let us know how it's going.

Thanks for the feedback everyone. There are a lot of people saying it doesn't work at all, but I just did some googling and found these two sites that seem to have their own solutions. What're your thoughts? Do you think they're just scams?

I think you should give them a try and find out for yourself.

I strop my razors on canvas and leather between shaves and after few months I have to remove some metal with a hone to make it sharp again.

Love the palm! Be the palm! Hey, I palm strop a bit with straights(that is true).

Seriously, though. You may as well shave will one of your sharpened knives, KnifeFanatic.

Please consider at least a Single Edge razor or, a Double Edge razor. Pretty easy shavin' and much better shaves than the Fusion or Mach junk.
