This Towa razor recently arrived from Japan. It's in good shape with very little hone wear. I honed and shaved with it last night. Finish stone was a Jnat. Now, I have to admit just how pleasantly surprised I was with the shave. I expected it to be good, but the edge felt soooo soft and smooth against the skin. I will unpin and give a thorough cleaning and a bit of buffing and polish to the steel. I must do some kanji research to hopefully find the type of steel used.

Couple of yards of 3in hemp webbing on the he way.
If it doesn't work for strops I could always smoke rope.Iron by iron is sharpened, And a man sharpens the face of his friend. PR 27:17

I would use a hammer to pound the hemp. Go for a hour minimum. Originally Posted by PaulFLUS

Then wash it two or three times.
Some would then take a diamond plate to it. I in ever saw need

I've made a few hemp strops and they are great for use with Cro Ox, Fe Ox etc
