Thanked: 735Why not simply strop on a towel? It would be more absorbant than your forearm.
Other than that, do what you like! I can see you may enjoy the habit, as it gives a nice feel for the razor!

My only question would be doesn't the razor pick up oil and chemicals like natural acids and such from your skin not to mention bacteria? I think I'll use a towel.

Thanked: 9I always clean and wipe the blade after stropping that way. I guess its no different than stropping on leather strops, as leather also contains acids that will corrode the blade (never store a knife in its sheath), as well as bacteria from the blade while shaving.... towels are good!
