Revisor stropping recommendations
A recommendation in a Revisor flyer caught my eye.
Quote:
“Only eventually! When stropping our 8/8 razors, make sure to lift the spine of the razor approx.., 1-2mm above the strop. This will be sure that you’ll maintain maximum sharpness despite the width of the blade.”
Is this good advice?
I'm not experienced enough to do something like this plus biggest I got is 6/8. Har!! ;)

While I agree. I think that they didn't really think of the skill set of the people using those razors. It's easy when you are making razors x hours per day to dial a couple of mm in. No hope for me thou.

I think In this case it would do the opposite. People will screw it up, damage the edge and be unhappy.
