I got my first strop today
When I was a kid we had a razor strop, I never knew you could shave with it until I was about 8. Anyhow I got my 3 inch strop from SRD today. It is a very nice strop I must say, I wouldn't know bad from good at this point but it looked to be of good quality.
I tried it out and all seemed to go well. I can almost tell from the sound if I am doing it right it seems. I tried a right side of my face shave with the razor after words and it seemed to shave nicely.
I put a few nicks at the end of the strop I noticed. Does this mean the strop is usless now? they are very small and at the end. I just wont strop there is all.
I just can not wait for some growth so I can get in a shave and find out if I stroped my 2 razors correctly.
Stropping was a much more precise and demanding skill than I had anticipated. I bet I have a ton to learn.
