Thread: Just bought a stropping device. Any opinions?

I love these kind of machines, I go nuts for buying them, the ingenuity and inventions from the mid 1800 through to early part of 1900's amazes me. I don't think there was an aspect of life someone didn't try to invent something for, often resulting in a far more complex procedure than the one it intended to replace.

I'd not let any of my straights near it, but I'd get some de blades and dull them just to try it out.

Enjoy, and let us know how you get on

In fact looking at the ad properly I think this is only for de type blades and not for a straight. I could be wrong though.
