Thread: Chalk

I just re-honed a Barber's Pet razor and stropped it on a Hess Hair Milk Keen Edge Silk Finish strop treated with black/green board chalk by Crayola. This razor is dropping 10 armhairs at a time straight down.

I would like to think that the chalk did the trick but my first thought is to inquire if anyone has any experience with a linen/cotton strop treated with chalk.

I got the Hess Hair Milk strops from Chris L several months ago and am only starting to use them now. There have been some posts about chalk pastes in recent weeks. Let the info flow.

Again, the question is about the use of chalk. Any info is greatly appreciated........... J S
