Hi gentlemen,
I wonder if anyone can help me. I have one strop at the moment that was so kindly gifted to me a year ago by @Salv
I cherish this strop and it has been looked after well if I say so myself.
Every time I use it I always vigorously rub the palm of my hand on it and I am proud to announce it has no nicks.
As of late I have found more drag while stropping? Am I right in thinking this should not be the case? I would have thought it should become smoother/less resistant?
Is there any treatment you an apply to it?
I managed to ruin an edge the other day and my thinking is that it occurred due the fact that the dynamics of the strop has changed (if that makes sense) and my technique has not taken this into account. A razor is definitely not as frictionless over the strop as it used to be and I used too much pressure on the one I ruined.
Here are some pics:
Is it time to look for an upgrade and use this one as my secondary strop?
Your thoughts as always will be much appreciated.
