Thread: DOVO Rindleder "hanf"

Hello Hector,

'The word hanf' is German for 'hemp'. Besides the smoking aspect this plant is known for it's strong fibers and applied a lot in clothing textiles and has many other uses.
In the case of your strop the hemp side is probably a substitute for linen which is used before the leather. It's the first time I hear about a Dovo strop with a hemp side.

Can you post a picture of the strop ?


I have always applied equal pressure on the linen side as to the leather side.

Using light pressure but enough pressure to retain full control over the razor while stropping works well for me.

Thank you very much
I will take a picture when i get back from work, and post it, so you can see how it looks.
Thank you for the advice on how to strop (pressurewise) i will try it asap
Hector

I have tried to capture the texture of the strop and you might be able to make something of it.

I have exactly the same have always presumed that it was genuine linen as it was sold that way.


PS: Be careful not to pull the 'D-ring' to hard while stretching the strop. I managed to rip it of accidentally.
