Strops better than hones, TOP 10
Why I think learning to use a strop is more important than learning to use a hone:
10. You can get a dull razor to shave with good stropping, but you can't hone a razor smooth enough to be able to shave
9. You never hear anybody say "I over stropped again"
8. You can always put paste on a strop
7. You can send your razor out to be honed, but you can't send it out to be stropped
6. You don't have to soak a strop in order for it to work
5. You can't tie a hone up in the bathroom
4. You can't snap a hone and make the kids clean their room.
3. You can't get a cat to chase a dangling hone into a wall, but a strop does the job really well.
2. You can't dry your back with a hone, but the linen side of a strop finally has a use now.
1. A strop in the bedroom makes you look like a frisky stud, a hone in the bedroom makes you look like a woodworker.
Strops No Better Than Hones
10. Just because you can't doesn't mean Lynn can't
9. Oh yes I have ... ME

7. True
6. Or a barber hone
5. And you can't put a strop in your pocket.
