I made a sort-of-loom. Leather elevated above a thin board, with a strip of linen pasted on the back. It's small, ok, but not good enough for daily use.
The hanger i use is thin and short, strokes few.
Glen is saying stropping is under-emphasized. My impression from reading posts by Mr. Parker and Mr. Davis is these two maintain their razors with some of the lowest lap counts around. I really hang on their every word.
I do not mean you guys under-emphasize stropping, and perhaps my impression of your sharing similar methods is off base, but i'd like to hear more of how you do what you do which I think to be very seldom honing, long term edge viability with minimal stropping-is that correct.
My thin strop is conforming to; shaped by the edge. To me that seems important. I am in process of making a thicker more traditional strap to see what I am missing out on. The thin one .06 inch the new one .11 inch thick.
