Thread: Leaded strops - Linen? Leather? Both?

I don't know jack about applying lead to a strop however lead is toxic in any form and the lead will transfer to the razor and anything else it comes in contact with and may possibly go airborn as you strop.

With all the great stropping compounds available why would you want to take a chance with your health?

I know they used it years ago but they used all kinds of poisons cause they didn't know better. These days lead is being removed from just about everything.
