    Be careful stropping a chipped edge on linen or leather. The chip can cut both.

    Plain linen and leather can and have maintained many a razor for hundreds of years. They will not remove chips, nor will newspaper, that is what stones are for.

    I have a secret. Go to Dan's whetstones and buy 4x6 surgical black arkansas stone. After you lap it properly it will have a mirror finish reflection. Puts a very fine edge on razors. Its so gentle a few laps every couple weeks will keep an indefinite fresh edge on the razor.
    Ever wondered how a bee swarm was removed?
