Hi fellow enthusiasts,
Been shaving with a safety razor since 1 1/2 years and decided to gently start with the knife. Appreciate a lot both the old genuine things and the attentive relaxed care this kind of shaving cultivates. Since I am just about to start I will have more questions than answers, just so you are prepared.
Otherwise I am a fan of shaving brushes made from horse ...
Take care
yours Corax

Hello corax, welcome
Hi again,
I have a knife but not yet a strop. Have heard that it is easy for the untrained to damage a strop and plan therefore to start of with a real cheap one. Found this on ebay, is it possible to judge the quality, can a strop be so bad it does not at all perform its function?
Hello and welcome. Do a search for cheap strops on the site and you'll find something decent. Id skip that one in ebay
Welcome Corax! Har mar du? :)
Hi,
Welcome from Åbo. 'Almost' neigbours! Good to have more Scandinavian here.
Welcome, can't comment on the strop you asked about, but what I would say is that yes you can nick, scratch, cut and otherwise damage a strop, but most of the time it will be salvageable, so get something at least reasonable, the strops from whipped dog are popular and inexpensive as far as I understand. I am not suggesting that you rush an buy one, in fact I made my own, all I am saying is look around a bit before rushing into anything.
And remember that you don't have to spend loads to get good quality things.
All the best
Ed.
