    Default Nicking Horsehide

    Well, I just received my Tony Miller Horsehide/Linen strop after a few months of using his Latigo/Cotton.

    During my use of the Latigo strop, I got maybe 2 small nicks at the handle end of it.

    However, on my 3rd practice stropping on the Horsehide, I've gotten 2 little nicks in around the same place. Is horsehide just easier to nick? I'm pretty sure my stropping is consistent and needless to say I'm a little peeved. I've got to say, the draw during stropping is butter smooth. I'm excited to see how the edge feels after this strop.


    Is a pumice stone safe to use on horsehide?
