Thread: Different Razors need Different Stropping

The good news about strop sag is that although it usually dulls a blade the angle that the strop actually contacts into the edge is often not that bad.

I still get the feeling your alluding to changing the sag level differently on each side. I'm imagining that your changing the sag level mid-stroke. I hope that isn't what you mean.

BTW, I prefer using a taut strop and a little pressure to solve this problem. If you've solved the geometry issue though and the blade is flat then your good to go.

I'd suggest though that you watch for premature dulling, but 20 good shaves are better than 40 okay shaves.

I'm wondering if I'm missing a picture too. How many pictures are in this thread? I see one.

I see them now: Picture 13 has an acceptable amount of sag, not a big deal. You'll probably be shaping the edge in a little while your buffing it.

I can't really imagine though with that strop that some razors are laying flat and some are not. The basic geometry of all your razors should be similar.
