Thread: First 2 weeks of stropping

Plenty Of Us Have Done That!

Thats not even that bad. I've seen worse. The other issue that tends to be the bigger one as far as comfort goes, is what is your shaving edge like. Along with nicking our strops many of us have also rolled the edge on our razors. Don't hesitate to get it honed.

Yep that sucks, that's the primary reason so many people advise against getting a nice strop as your first one. But it can be repaired with a little mineral oil and some sandy paper. Oh and BTW, I've done it plenty too........ in fact as much as i would not like to admit it, i did it last week for the first time in over a year.

Yea, don't worry you have plenty of company and I still manage to get the odd small nick still. There is a reason that there is more than one thread on here dealing with strop repair.
