Usually the people, talking about strops or straight razors, can say only what they like, but almost nothing about "why" they like that strop or straight razor. I don't need to know if a Neil Miller strop is better than a Kanayama, I need just to know if that one is right for my shaving and honing. Usually we can recognize the character of a razor: generally a Sheffield blade is sweeter than a Solingen one, but this doesn't mean that a Solingen blade will kill your cheeks. We know the usual hardness of modern and old french blade, but we don't know so much about the differences between different strops. I know that Miller and Kanayama are at the top of the quality, but can you explain me this quality, and how this quality affect your razors? I found a partial answer to my question reading this and other forums, I'm trying to understand how a strop is working through the experience of the other users.
