Disappointment with DOVO strop
Hi
Im here again, usually a reader, to learn from the immense amount of knowledge of this forum.
This time Im having trouble with a new dovo strop. I have been SR shaving for about 8 years. Always made my own strops with leather from leftovers of shoe/strap makers. Attaining a slippery kind of leather after sanding at beeswaxing.
I decided it was time to buy a proper strop, so I bought a DOVO one, with velvety finish. It has a lot of drag, I cant actually get a shaving edge from it as I would from my "old beater once a belt" strap. totally different sensation and at the moment totally worthless.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks
