Thread: Use Your Slacks as a canvas Strop?

i wear dickie brand pants, there a little more canvas like than say "dockers",
i dont have my real strop yet, but i used some dickies pants, and newspaper tto strop, got my blade effortlessly poppin hairs off my arm, defintly freshend it up a bit

Yup, that works.

Somewhere in my closet I have a variety of boards covered in materials as diverse as denim, chino twill, and medical gauze tape, all of which worked reasonably successfully as linen substitutes.

I still prefer real linen though, if I can get it.

Now would one do this with the slacks on or off?

Either way works. Guys around here have described doing this sort of thing when camping. Because of the curvature of the leg you need to do an X pattern.

What a bunch of slackers!

I was just thinking about all the strop repair threads. Just make sure you dont turn that razor into a Hobart meat slicer.

PS. I have denim on boards after reading your post, the denim on wood with tin oxide was my "precious" a months ago.
