Thread: Draw on a strop notting to do with performance?

Lol, lot of info Realy like this forum!

The way I look at sharpening is making something thin and even, so I don't belive that all a strop does is straighten, but that is just my philosophy

I agree, it is an excellent forum. Like everything else in life though, you have to be able to separate the wheat from the chaff, else you get nowhere.

I suppose that 'sharpening' is a little too ill-defined to be used in a meaningful way here. Not that I doubt that you can sharpen hardened steel with soft leather - the ancient egyptians shaped adamantine granite with soft copper alloy tools and desert sand after all, but your stubble would have turned into a beard of some quite considerable length by the time you had some measurable, rather than merely subjective, results.

All roads lead to Rome so they say, so if believing what you are doing is 'sharpening' I for one will not knock it. More power to your arm!
