What Will Happen If you Don't Strop Before A Shave
Ladies and gentlemen,
I strop before every shave, usually using a ratio of 30 on canvas, 60 on leather, or 25 to 50, or 25 to 75. The Wackers receive more laps, usually a 50 to 100 ratio.
The only time I don't strop is for the first shave after my razor has returned from Lynn's honing.
Besides, stropping is part of my straight razor ritual. Shaving without it somehow feels unnatural to me.
I mean, dear friends, what would chili be without cumin and chili powder?
Regards,
Obie
