First time stropping! Not that bad...... i think....
Gentlemen,
Long after i registered on SRP, i bought my first SR (W&B). Second razor is on the way, but that's another story. In time i also bought the necessary things to make everything complete.
Had about three shaves with the SR, before it began to tug and pull (NOT a nice feeling, i can tell you :banghead: )
So the time came for my first stropping of the SR. Scared out of my mind, afraid to ruin my strop (I read numerous posts about fellow members who did just THAT). NOT intentionally, mind you, but because of the "lack of knowledge" of HOW to strop correctly.
Been reading a lot, trying to get ALL the knowledge i could get concerning stropping. I discovered lots of threads (didn't know i could actually DO that :dropjaw: ), and found videos posted by hi bud gl and The_Pastor (among others). With MORE advice from ben.mid, i started stropping. Took me a while, but eventually got there. NO nicking of the strop (Thank God), and a razor that was (almost) shave ready. Not exactly a fan of the HHT; prepared myself and had an almost BBS shave.
Wanted to share this with you.......
I would also like to thank the aforementioned members in particular for their input regarding stropping; MUCH APPRECIATED!!
Regards,
RazorBack
