So it seems it's mostly the vintage strops that have em and more so the higher end ones. So do you think it makes a difference in daily stropping?

I'm glad someone brought up the strop chamferring issue. I have been wanting to chamfer my strops for years and never had enough motivation. As a result of this thread, I grabbed my bridle strop and did the deed moments ago.
I will do the rest of my strops asap. Good thread, good idea and thanks for bringing it up.........JERRY
OOOPS! Pass the styptic please.
