Strop leather on my razor
I am finding tiny red fibers on my razor in one spot and only spot. They are hardly visible to the naked eye but I can see them in my magnifier - at first I thought it was part of my face leftover from my last shave, but after I stropped, there they were again. I have a red latigo strop from Tony, so I surmise the strop is attaching itself to my razor ever so slightly. The razor is a new Wapi (from Mike Ratliff) and the strop is - oh I already said what it was, but it is also only a few weeks into usage.
Someone in flash chat told me this was normal, and I am curious to see how many others notice this? Also, does it mean anything that I am finding the fibers in only one place on the razor about a third of the way down from the shank?
update aka digging up an old thread
It never happened to me again with that or any other razor on that strop or any other. I can only conclude there was a burr of some sort on the razor as some suggested
