I'll try and see if I can get a better shave after stropping as soon as my strop arrives.


Otto: I just tried and, sure, the hairs are falling off like if they were cut already. But my beard is much tougher, so it doesn't really say anything. Especially when I don't have any other razor to compare it to.
