Damaged new strop?
My wife bought me a Dovo Ebon wood razor and a Mountain Strop for an early fathers day gift..I shaved once and it pulled a little( more than I thought it would) My next time to use it I stropped it and while I was at the top of the strop I must have started my down stroke early and cut a slice out of the upper left had side. when I strop now I can sort feel it through the blade. Is this ok. I am new to using a quality straight, I have been using a Magic from Sally Beauty Supply. I am new to stropping. I have used my razor 3 time and it is considerably less sharp. When I strop on the canvas side it seems to feel right, but when I do it on the leather side it just does not feel right.. Should I send it of to get it re-honed, is there a hone that you all could recommend that would not break the bank so I could do it my self. Any help would be appreciated.
