There is one other thing I wish to ask on the reverse side of this strop is what they call " Wool Felt strop" I have been on a other site and someone says that this wool felt Strop from Star shaving supplies can damage the Razor if used make blunt etc and the same With the Big daddy Black Latigo strop Is this true ? and recommend I go for the English Bridle one instead. I am now totally confused what is right what is wrong in this strop leather lark and does the wool felt strop do anything??? and if so how often do you use it or what this guy on the other site ( it Starts with a B&B scaremongering many thanks for any help given
