Thread: my strop technique ! request advice

Hi guys

i have 2 strops , The first is the latigo and fabric webbing with it ,the other just leather with Chromium Oxide .
My way to work is 10 strok on inside canvas , 10 on outside , 30 - 50 on latigo , 20 on oxide leather , Finally 10-15 on outside canvas again .

so

1-is this a good technique?

2- Is there a difference already between the inside and outside of the fabric webbing?

3- I have a additionalpiece of fabric webbing . Can you advise me put chromium Oxide on it ? and when i use it?


I thank everyone in advance with wishes for a wonderful shaving.

What seems to work well for me is 30 on fabric 60 to 100 on leather if I'm touching up my edge I'll do 30 fabric just to clean it up 10 to 15 on my chromium Oxide laptop board and than 10 on my diamond slury laptop board and a final 100 on leather. I only hit the chromium board and diamond board maybe every 20 shaves. Hope that helps

I've never heard of any difference between inside or outside linen.

For routine stropping I do linen then leather. After plain leather I shave.
