And you thought I had discovered some radically new way of stropping a straight eh, sorry not the case.

What was brought home to me today while stropping my two SRPs for the final phase of the Grand Experiment was I realized towards the end of the last phase each time I stropped the razors it felt as though I was stropping on glass, real slick and smooth. To you newbies thats just another indicator that the blade is not ready for shaving. Another indicator you can put in you bag of tests. Once the razors were honed up there was so much draw on the strop the razors were almost pulled out of my hand and thats the way it should be!
