That razor looks like it has an excellent smile on it.
Sounds like good advice, I'll keep it clean.

Xman, what do you mean by 'smile'?

Just to allay everyones fears I didn't buy the strop 2nd hand (sight unseen) on eBay, it is second hand but it's from a barber's trade shop so I knew it had one side that was good condition and one that could perhaps be restored.
