Thread: Importance of proper stropping

My biggest culprit on nicking a strop has been loose scales! You can be going along great then all of a sudden the scales move the tiniest bit, you lose your concentration on stropping because the razor is no longer in your hand the way you like, then like and idiot try to adjust your grip and boom, a nick in your strop. Also in the same category with loose scales is children, pets and significant others, oh and the big cutter of the face for me would be lady bugs, the occasional fly and the cellphone ringing and scaring the hell out of you when you have the blade to your face.

My apologies for the tangent. They are just a few things not mentioned often.

lady bugs????????????
