The other night I decided to try something different for stropping my razor. I thought it would be nice to be able to sit at my desk and do the stropping. I remembered reading some posts where newspaper was used and I thought of the ShamWow. They had been sitting in a drawer since I got them over a year ago. So I went at it - did about a 100 laps and then shaved with my razor. Wow (pun intended) it really shaved nice - a very smooth and close shave. As good as any shave I've had.
I plan to keep using the ShamWow - they never did work for the reason I originally bought them for. :)
