Thread: Your Strop Technique

Congrats!

Its really great when it all starts to come together! Dont worry about the speed now, just focus on the accuracy first. Its the old guitar players mantra; Speed is a by-product of accuracy.

Just take it slow, concentrate on getting a good stroke and making contact with the razors edge the whole way across and the speed will come. It sounds like you are well on your way..!

Good luck!

EDIT: I use the same method to repair my strops and it works very well. I also found that giving the affected areas a good rub with your hand once you've removed the nicks really helps them to blend in with the rest of the strop. The oils from your skin treat the area and make the leather more supple.
