Holy thread revival!

I have been using a Star Shaving 3" bridal strop for over a year and palm rub it every day whether I shave or not. I do this because since I got the thing it has had some weird draw issues. It had fast spots and it really effects the speed I can strop.

In the beginning it was ok because I stropped slow but now that I am honing more razors 100+ Slow laps on 3 or 4 razors at a time just takes too long.

Anyway, after this morning's shave using DR Harris Windsor soap, I decided to give this a shot. I left the lather on the strop for 11hours and just gave it a good palm rubbing and followed with a 100 laps on this mornings razor, a 6/8 French point Boker Arbolito. The draw has improved greatly! It is even and now has a nice medium draw.

100 fast laps now warms the blade a bit and tuned the edge nicely. I am excited to see how this effects some of the razors in my normal rotation.

Glad I tried it! Thank you!
