Problem with stropping and hair test
Hello, I'm newbie, but I've used Straight Razor since 2 years. First sorry for my english ;)
So, when I started using razor I watched every instruction about honing and stropping. I used to shave with not so sharp razor. I did my own home made strop from very thin cow skin, I was really proud of it and I've used for 1,5 year. I bought using strop form thick skin scored on one side. After few months using first strop I used oil to improvement slip and sharpness. I don't have polishing paste. I try to do the same on the new one strop, I stropping very slow, very fast, with little pressure with no pressure and I can't cut a hair... I'm used to shave with not so sharp razor but I want to try strop razor one time and properly to have sharper razor. I'm using 12000 grit water stone. I've got 2 razor and I can't sharp it well. Please help me :(
