Palm stropping
I just read a post about using your palm with CrOx to give a final polish on the blade when honing.
And it got me thinking...
Can the palm of your hand work as a strop? I reckon it can because... well... it is leather, right? Very fine, but leather nontheless.
I wonder how many of you effectively use the palm of your hand to strop your razors, even if only occasionaly. Do you think you could go on a camping trip and leave behind a travel strop or a paddle strop and use the palm to good effect?
I've seen a youtube video of Mastro Livi stropping one of his razors on the palm of his hand but I've always been too scared to try it out myself.
What do you think?
