Dylandog,
Yep, simplicity and saving money........that's waht we all said. Now most of us have 10-15 razors, a few strops and hones, brushes, mugs, etc....
Everytime my wife walks in the bathroom I hear "what.....did the strops have babies???"
It keeps us out of trouble....well, not financial trouble anyway <g>.

Heh, the reason we all got involved in this thing is because we like to tinker with ouf stuff. Don't spoil that for us.
Seriously though Tony is right ,as long as things work we should leave then alone. You can only tweak a car motor so much and my neighbor is always messing with his vintage mustang.No matter how many men you kill you can't kill your successor-Emperor Nero

I actually tried to iron my strop today. Don't ask.
The moral of the story: if I were a better tinkerer, well then I'd proudly bill myself as a tinkerer.
My 'minimalism' is a cover story for my incompetence.

I use GOOP automotive hand cleaner on all my strops. It cleans the old ones and moisturizes the leather. It has Lanolin, sheeps wool oil, in it.

Classic shaving sells a pumice for dressing strops and hones!? I never heard of anyone on the forum they use a pumice on their hones. Any thoughts?

I don't but I do use a scotchbrite pad to clean the embedded metal particles and also to give the surface a once-over after lapping.

I use it to touch up my strop. I used it once on my hone but I didn't like the way it turned out.

Most any abrasive can be used to clean a hone.
