Straight Razor Tools
|
Stropping a razor is a fine art developed by repeated practice. The aim in stropping is to smooth and shape the razor's edge into a keen cutting implement. After being honed, the razor seldom needs any stropping on the canvas. Instead, the honed razor is stropped directly over the surface of the leather strop. The effect of the canvas strop is similar to mild honing. Click Here for more information on stropping
