Thread: Howdy from Montana.

For clarification when I said linen we use it to describe the secondary strop be it linen, felt, webbing etc

Welcome to the forum, Larry. Hopefully, you are able to meet up with Longhaultanker and get your razor sorted out.

For me, stropping was the most difficult shaving task to learn to do correctly with consistency.

I suspected as much. Can you recommend another strop with the linen secondary strop? I am not against buying another $100 strop if that is what it takes to succeed.

Since you have a SRD strop you can just buy a replacement if you wished. They also offer webbing and premium linen pieces. That said I have had srd strops with the felt and they will perform just fine. 1 recommendation would be check out the stropping video by AFDavis in the top of the stropping forum. Is up top in red (sticky). He gives an excellent example of great stropping technique
