    Default I destroyed my brand new strop in 3 weeks with nicks

    Hi. It's Jim from Alexandria, VA. I was shaving daily with a feather for 2 years. Cuts every day. Three weeks ago I received my professionally sharpened, new DOVO pakkawood. NO CUTS!! Shaving heaven!

    EXCEPT--I've managed to destroy my Russian leather strop in only three weeks. No, I'm not turning blade-side down.

    Picture of the strop is below:


    See what I mean? Too much pressure? Too fast?

    Is there someone experienced in the greater Washington D.C. area I could learn from? Thanks, Jim
