Thread: Stropping after honing!!

No honmiester, but after honing and 16 k I strop with flitx on linen and then move up through the pastes all the way to a clean strop...Not sure if it works, but it makes me happyl

I can't claim any major honing experience which is maybe why I also do a lot more stropping on a newly honed blade than I use in my normal shaving routine (about 50 passes).

I finish hone on a Thuringian then (using a Dovo strop) give it 50 passes on the linen followed by about 100 passes on clean leather.

And that is all that matters!

By saying it makes you happy, you mean you like the edge and the shave and that what we are all after, different methods
for different people.
