Description

Color:Black Instruction:Learn To Strop * Stropping is more of a fine-tuning process that helps keep the edge of your blade sharp between uses. *It's like daily maintenance. *You strop on the leather surface, not the rough leather bottom, but you use the very top of the strop. *Stropping is a motion that pulls the cutting edge of a blade away from a strip of leather in order to sharpen the blade. *It’s a great method of keeping a razor clean and easy to use as it produces a very sharp final edge. *Stropping helps smooth the rough edges off your blade and sets the teeth in alignment—it gives a straight razor a keen edge to help make shaving easier. Hanging strops are the most common. They consist of a canvas strap and a leather strip. There are two key things to consider when you are stropping your razor: DRAW BLADE AWAY- Always draw the blade away from the cutting edge so that the razor doesn’t dig into the leather. BE CONSISTENT- Hold the razor at the same bevel angle consistently throughout the stropping process. DON'T ROLL THE EDGE- Please don't raise the angle up or lower it down, you will destroy the edge.
