Thread: Question about stropping

Hi Guy’s,

I have heard it said in some posts that "they” have stropped a razor 300 laps.

What would be the reason and benefit of doing that rather than 60?

My razor still shaves but not like it did compared to some of my others.

I don’t really want to send it for honing yet because I’ve only used it less than 20 times.

I’m a newbie and I’m not great with a strop yet but would really going at the strop for 300 or so laps help give me back my edge?

I suppose that if I don’t do anything good for my edge I could just send it off to be honed after all.

Steve

PS - I've just noticed that there is a thread about stropping that would have been more suitable for this post. My apologies but I don't know how I can move it.
