Thanked: 19Can you damage your edge by stropping?
Hellooo there -
I'm not talking about banging the edge while turning, or some other kind of isolated thing. I'm talking about just general half-way decent stropping with an occasional clunker in there. I mean, I'll be stropping along just fine....
swhiisch, swchiisch, swhiisch....
and then maybe on one lap the spine/edge doesn't lay quite so flat on the strop and you hear this dull dragging sound. I say this because after I got my first razor ('shave ready and stropping not needed'), the edge was great, but it seemed to go south quickly, right after I stropped for my second shave. That experience seems to persist. The first shave after the honemeister is always great, but then it definately slacks off.
Any of this make sense?
