Thread: Just got it and needs opinion

Hello Maddafinga,

I will make sure to do that.

I need to learn how to strop, no clue..lol

There are several excellent videos on the site about stropping. Also look up the thread called "stroptober" tons of videos and good information.

You can kill the edge of a good razor stropping badly, so watch carefully and pay close attention to technique. Maybe practice with a butter knife until you feel natural at it. That way you won't harm your razor or your strop.

Hi maddafinga,

I have a leather strop and the brand is Scotch Shell.

It is used and I cannot tell if it is in good condition or not...

I have pics of it but I dont know how to post it...

Thanks

Just as long as the leather isn't rough or cracked you should be fine.

There are places you can order a fairly cheap starter strop if you're worried about that one.

If you haven't already, read the wiki of this site. There is just tons of great information there.

Hi,

I do not think it is cracked, and hmm does not seems rough, at least to me,....


There is something like a scratch or something,,,

Thanks
