Thread: "drag" on leather strop...

I've read about the so-called "drag" you should get when using a leather strop.

Can somebody describe this more thoroughly? When I use my strop (just a cheap one), it just feels smooth - no "pull" at all.

I did condition it with what the guy gave me (feels like vaseline?).

razors shave great, though. I don't have any problems with sharpness (so far).

thanks.

Sounds like it's working like it should.

Drag is usualy accomplished by conditioner or a rougher finish.

Don't worry about it.
