Thread: Is "Resting a blade" complete bull?

Rest! They don't need no stinkin rest. There is plenty of rest after they are used up and dead.

Ok! So, as I have taken the time to partake upon the wisdom of this forum and the experience that is obviously present......... I'm gonna strop the $%*! out of this thing at every given moment. I feel better now. Thanks guys.

Definitely works for me - just ask my mummy...

That's old hat. If you want you razor rested and energized for the next days shave here is what you do.

You attach your razor to a kite and when an electrical storm comes you run it up with a heavy copper wire and run like the dickens with it. The lightning strike will impart magical properties and you will get the best shave of your life. (just make sure you're wearing rubber gloves and rubber boots)

This is one of those twice a year threads isn't it? I think 5 he consensus previously was possibly but maybe not. For what it's worth, I generally use the same razor for weeks or months on end and strop on leather only after the shave only. The only time I strop first is if have refreshed my razor with a hone.

Ed, your new name is 'Iron Face'.

hehe! This was basically my first question on this forum 8 years ago!

The answer today seems to be the same as it was then. And the jokes haven't improved over time either!
