Thread: 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.

Also, you can't slice a hone in two when learning to hone a razor...

AF, you should have t shirts made up lol!

10. Just because you can't doesn't mean Lynn can't
9. Oh yes I have ... ME
8. Not a hanging one unless you want to round the bevel
7. True
6. Or a barber hone
5. And you can't put a strop in your pocket.
4. But you can hurl it something fierce.
3. YOUR STROP IS NOT A CAT TOY!!!
2. yuck
1. Also true.

Alan,

I must have read that 20 times before I caught it...nicely done!

Will you be touring all of the usual comedy clubs, or just certain one?

It said you don't have to soak a hone before use. It now says strop.
