Thread: I LOVE stropping, is this strange?

Hey all,

So is it strange that I find stropping to be a magnificently pleasurable activity? I have today off, and I've spent a lot of it so far just stropping a razor (both on my strop and on my forearm actually!). Then I go around my girlfriend's condo looking for loose hair of her's to cut. So all I've done today is post on here, strop and pop hairs with my razor! (That should be the slogon here: Post, Strop and Pop). Am I sick??

Yes you're sick.



And you're not the only one!

Not on this site it isn't. Welcome to the club.

if you're sick, then i have the same disease and i have some news for ya: there is no cure!

BTW there have been many times that i have sat in frustration wondering why my beard won't grow faster so i can try out another razor. this may be weird but i do have some bald patches on my legs now

I can relate. For a couple of weeks I had a really big bald patch on my left leg.....Good thing it's long pants season!

ya my left arm was bald for a while since i amd right handed. i evened them up so it would look like i just wasn't that hairy but a couple people did comment on it and i then had to explain. i shaved my chest once because i was sitting on the couch with no shirt on honing a razor and watching TV. i looked down and thought "hey look some hair to test on" and i then had a patch missing off my peck so i had to shave the whole thing.

Tanx and now back to the original subject.

I have heard about individuals who love stroping on other straight razor forums, its not unusal. Personally its not the stropping that like to do so much as the actual shave.
