Hi folks,

I got a new Ralf Aust in the mail yesterday from SRD. After shaving with it this morning, I stropped, and the edge of the spine at the toe end is so sharp that it scratched my strop. Should I lightly sand the edge with some fine sandpaper so that it isn't quite as sharp, or do you recommend something else? I know I wasn't scratching the strop with the shaving edge, as I've never had this happen with any other razors and I could see small flecks of leather on the spine edge of the blade.

Also, do I need to sand the scratches out of my strop? They aren't particularly deep.

Thanks!
