Stropping Before Honing after Shaving
Say that you have your razor all sharp and stropped and ready to
shave, you thought. You start to shave and discover that it is
pulling a bit to much. You strop it again and it still pulls. You
then think to yourself that a little honing could fix this up. You
finish the shave and then wonder to your self now that the fin is all
out of alignment from shaving should I strop and realign the fin
before honing or should I just hone the misaligned fin. And then
again maybe the honing would just resurface the edge and that
stropping before honing would just be a waste of time, what is your
opinion? One might think that stropping before honing might be easier
on the edge/fin. Then again the fin is such a finite piece of metal
that it may not make a bit of difference.
