Tighter pins=better stropping!
Hey all,
So after last night's shave I realized that the pins on my razor were getting loose. They're just little adjustable pins, sort of like miniature nut and bolts. So I got out a couple of pairs of tiny pliers and tightened 'em up until they were good and tight.
Well it made stropping SO much easier! Normally when I strop I have to hold the razor extra securely so that it doesn't fold in on itself during the stroke. But with it super tight today it made stropping a lot easier, and I got a smoother shave as a result.
So the moral of the story is: if you have loose pins, find a way of tightening them! It'll make stropping a lot easier, and it will make your shave that much better. :D
