Hey everyone,
For the first time, I've gotten an old vintage straight razor into shave ready condition. All that's left- stropping.
I have two dovo strops. The one I'm gonna use is the larger one (see photo 1)
so my questions: 1) which side of the strop do I begin with, the smooth/soft leather or the black rougher leather? 2) is 20 laps on the prep side and 60 on the finishing side correct?
BYW, I also could use the other one if it would be recommended. Canvas/leather. (See photo 2)
