Thanked: 481Stropping a smiling razor?
Just wondering if there is anything different about stropping a razor with a smile. My Germania Cutlery works has a slight smile to it, and it seems to have dulled really quickly - I may have gotten 3 or 4 shaves out of it before it began tugging, and in my estimation it took way too many passes on the barber hone to get it good enough to make a passable shave. thinking if maybe there was some negative action in the stropping department, and just wondering if there's any difference in the technique for these?
