Thread: Hello from TX

geish,

I may be misreading your earlier post, but if you have a 3" wide strop, you don't need to use an "X" pattern while stropping your razor.

I own a 3" wide strop and don't use an "X" pattern. That's the reason I purchased a 3" as opposed to a 2" wide strop.

With respect to your strop cupping problem...First, where are you storing your strop? In the bathroom? Try hanging it in your bedroom instead. The leather may be absorbing moisture. Second, before stropping, pull your strop taut and rub the palm of your hand lengthwise along the strop. Over time, that may eliminate the cupping.

Just my 2 cents. Wait for replies from other SRP members before you commit.
