i just realised something
ive been using a really soft cheap strop for a while now
a few weeks ago i also got a pease of thick cow leather and made a strop out of that using the flesh side as that was by far the smoothest
so using one werry soft leather (almost sky) and one much sturdier i keep nicking the soft one almost every time while the hard leather still hasnt gotten the first mark yet
so i think ill avoid the softest for now
or is the issue related more to that the one i cut is a bit cupped?
Does anyone else have strops that gets cut more then others
or is that just my experiense?
i just noticed that the cupping strop and a frowning blade might have a simular problem
