I want to know what you all think of this: I don't have a canvas strop (yet), and I've been getting by just using the smooth leather back of the one I've got, but this week I tried a new tactic. Since I wear denim jeans during the workweek, I tried pulling the cloth tight at the thigh, and went ahead and stropped on my pants. It worked like a charm, and it was the best shave I've ever had. I was just wondering if you all thought that this is a viable solution (though obviously temporary) or if the quality of that shave was all in my head.
