Thanked: 1A few stropping questions
I'm sure these questions have been answere in previous threads, but rather than read all day i thought i'd ask again. First, is stropping compound necessary, and if so what kind is best? I'm new to this, and ordered a shave ready dovo, i know i will need to strop it between shaves, but i have read mixed things about stropping with compounds or diamond sprays. Second, when stropping what angle should i hold the blade against the leather? i know you want to go along the same angle as the bevel, but when i see people stropping fast i wonder how they know if their at the right angle or if they're messing up the edge? i could really use some advice from a veteran here haha
