Thanked: 2How easy is it to dull razor with strop?
Dear Fellow Razorheads-Received a really nice Fromm in the mail from a forum member and it shaved really sweet the first time around. Let her sit for 48 hours and performed 25 complete strokes on the felt and 50 complete strokes on the leather side of my Big Daddy 3" wide Strop off of E-Bay. Shave with her today and although she still shaves arm hair, she feels like she's dragging more than before. Could I have dulled the edge somehow? I understand that the strop must be pulled tight and that the razor be dragged on the strop with MUCH less pressure compared to the strop tension. How do you know that you are applying the correct tension to the strop and the correct pressure to the razor? I did inspect the razor edge with a magnifying glass and could find nothing obviously aberrant Thanx for any feeback!
