I want a new strop - I think!
Hi guys,
I could use a bit of advice from you folks with a lot of strops.
I have the urge to get a new strop, I mean I really want one!
I have a 3" English Bridal leather strop and I have a 2" cheapo which is pasted.
Here are my questions:
Why do I want or even need another strop?
What are the pros & cons of having another strop?
Why do some of you have so many strops?
I want a heavy draw I think because it keeps me slow and deliberate, is Latigo heavy?
Occasionally i hear the swish sound that means my spine is not on the leather, would a heavy draw reduce the likelyhood of that?
If Latigo isn't heavy, what should I be considering that is?
My wrist aches after about 40 laps and I have to rest for a few seconds before I do the final 40, am I doing something that is making it harder on me?
I have to admit that I don't really flip the razor between my fingers so much as use my wrist to flip it.
I welcome any advice before i go fo it.
Happy New Year all- - Steve
