Thanked: 2Stropping not going so well
Hi guys, I know I come up with some remedial stuff, but i guess if I don't ask I'll never know. Basically I'm terrible at stropping I'm pretty sure I messed my Thiers edge up its been tearing my face up. I'd love to blame it on shaving technique but i have had pretty good success in that dept. and i just got a cheap bench strop to learn on and that's when the problem began. I watched the video on the home page and it is very insightful, but my best efforts won't match up with it. Here is where I need your suggestions: 1. when i try to bring the razor back and forth using the technique on the video it seems my razor blade doesn't actually make contact long 2. my wrist begins to hurt after about five strokes trying the rolling technique 3. how should the x pattern go. Any info i'd appreciate. Also, should i send it to get it rehoned i shaved with it for a month before it really started to dull and make my face hurt without stropping, i just got the new strop last week and it seems to be getting worse? I have a new dovo on the way so i could do without it for a while i guess, besides it is only tearing my face up now so i guess i should unless you have any suggestions to get it back to it's original glory.
thanks,
Ronny
