Thread: Loom Strops/Slack

I have incorporated into my stropping procedure - call it, "A slightly deflected strop". The strop actually has a little slack to it, not much, though. I adjust this slight deflection depending upon the grind of my razor and the feel and sound as I make each pass. I am very careful to keep my pressure light and very even. I don't have a loom strop. (I use three hanging strops + linen)

The results have been spectacular to say the least! I have been shaving with a different razor every day, experimenting to see if the shaves are an improvement from the last time I used the razor when stropped with a "tightly" held strop. I have over 150 razors in my herd. I started doing this a couple of months ago. - so far so good. My edges and resulting shaves have improved tremendously!
