Well I picked up a barber friends of mines straight today, he said it needs honed.
It hasn't been honed since the last time I did it.....6/15. He strops it approximately 20 times a day, 5 days a week.
(You can do the math if you like)
It still pops hair, but the top of the apex is gone, smooth and rounded. That's all the wear I see.
So it can't be the strop, Period..!!
He strops on a 2 1/2" vintage strop, couldn't tell ya what make, but its well used.

One of these days I'm gonna sneek a video of him stroppin.
It'll make you cringe, [emoji16] but its accurate.
