Thread: Beginner Questions

I'm not sure what your questions are. I'd say a practice strop is a good idea, but that if you take your time you'll probably do little damage to your regular strop. A little pumice or sandpaper, lightly, can remove any nicks.

Remember to never let the razor stop moving on the strop. That is how it gets messed up at the top and bottom. Change the direction of motion in the opposite direction before the edge touches down on the strop for the return trip.

Twist the shank in your fingertips as you strop. The wrist does not move.
