Stropping on Aqua Fresh toothpaste provided great shave

I loaded up my leather with Aqua Fresh, and the resulting shave was superior to chromium oxide! It's definitely worth trying.

Just a heads up! :)

I just looked up the abrasives in toothpaste, they are tin fluoride, sodium fluorophosphate, hydrated silica, titanium oxides, dragon's blood, and calcium phosphate.

I'm constantly wondering how people learn certain things they can do...

Ski Jump, Breaking concrete benches with your forehead, trick snowboard jumps, riding a motorcycle 150+ mph... Now this.

I know this isn't the first recounting of this working here on SRP, but still :rofl2:

I'm glad I'm not in the business of making toothpaste all of the sudden.....;)

Using Toothpaste to buff out scratched and skipping C.D.'s is an old D.J. trick. And yes it works.. So using it as a stropping paste would make sence.

You can get fresh dragon's blood, but then you have to find somewhere to ditch the damsel that was previously in distress. At first tt's cool and all, but after awhile you get tired of all those needy chicks chasing you around.

Dragon's blood is used as a resin. My source is Wikipedia, under "Modern Toothpaste" section:
