Thread: Dulling blades on a strop

I always find that the key is pressure. Very light ........tis the same for honing, stropping and shaving, even though the exercises are different. Less pressure is usually mo bettah

Have fun.

A really interesting post and thanks for the experimentation.

I have found that the stiffer the blade, the tauter the hanging strop must be. The full hollow ground razor has enough flex in the blade to accommodate a slightly less taut strop.

Full wedges strop really sweetly on a strop laid on a flat surface.
