I am fairly new to using a straight razor. I received a new razor and it was not honed properly from the get go..I sent it to Lynn he did a jam up job. He did recommend a zink oxide stick for the back side of my strop to help keep it keen.
Things were going great in my straight razor world and then i did it...All I can figure is i must of nicked the edge of my leather strop and ran the blade over it a few times before i noticed. When I was done stropping I noticed a little leather on the blade. I gently scratched it of and noticed a very slight deformation in the blade. It is extremely small, but none the less it is still there. I have used the razor and it is pulling a little now. I just place an order for the crome ox and some strop neatsfoot oil. Do you all thing the crom ox will correct the deformation in the blade?
