No exception is made when it comes to striking. A straight razor blade should be kept flat across the strop and should not be bent up or down as would be the case when sharpening a knife. Maintaining the blade flat against the strop is the only way to avoid seriously dulling its edge. Cutting the strop face may also result in expensive damage to it as well.

The leather on the razor has noticeable cracks, so it is not suitable for use. Taking away the edge would ruin the look. The leather on half of the jacket is smooth and nice, but the leather on the other half is chipped I'm returning a defective item in hopes of getting a replacement of As soon as it arrives, I will post an update. A quick update We received a replacement that was worse than our There are cracks in almost every surface of the leather, so it can't be used. Each of the packages was folded in half upon arrival. We are returning it for a refund, since we don't want to go through the hassle of getting another one.

I bought it despite some negative reviews, and even though I'm not an expert on strops, I can say that it's working for me so far. There's nothing cheap about it, and there's also nothing expensive about it. In the course of my research, I had some questions, which led me to contact their customer service. I was very pleased with their response. As for the rating, I gave it 5 stars because of how quickly customer service responded and because I find this product suitable for my needs. I use neats foot oil every week to keep the strop In addition, I make sure I keep the strop taut when I use My overall impression of this product is that it's a good one that I would definitely repurchase.

You rub on some of the powder with water and use it to scratch leather a good amount till it dries away and you'll have a fine sharp edge. This came from my brother who introduced me to straight razors. In this case, I did not use powder, just the stropping. I did not enjoy the Edge as much as I had hoped. Adding it to the list. Using the strop has made a noticeable difference in my handwriting. It has a very fine edge. Earlier this year, he sent me an old high carbon blade that was manufactured in Germany in With its light blade, I think this is why it is so easy to maintain an edge with a.

I expected that it would arrive on time. This item seemed to be exactly what I ordered, and it fit my needs. I hadn't noticed any flaws while using it. Since I lost my grandpa's originally-gifted strop over the years, I was forced to purchase a replacement. My old one was 50 years old when I got it, and was already very well used. The new one is more rigid, but the old one was clearly well used. A pair of leather strops, one coarser than the other, adorn this weapon. If you rub some rouge on, everything will come out razor-sharp.

The strop is excellent and the price is well worth it. I have used several strops in the past, mostly for pocket knives and high end kitchen knives, and the quality of this strop really shows in the finish of my knives when I sharpen them. Always something to look forward to!.

Why do I have to say anything? A razor sharpening product like this is designed for that purpose. They become sharp like a spoon as a result. Several sharpening sessions later and the razor seems to be getting worse with this strop. By now, the strop will probably be at the landfill, and I am glad I saved the old one. The few who think I can't sharpen a razor may be surprised to hear that, using an old strop and a bit of Dialux, I recovered my edge and was able to shave without.
