Anyone else used this stuff for stropping?
I have chunk lying around from the local woods and have used it for stropping small knives a little. Tonight I didn't have a strop to hand but did have this so gave it a whirl.
It is very small for stropping razors but had a really nice feel to it and was rather forgiving on the edge. I will be keeping an eye out for a larger specimen and cutting it more carefully.
It's not made of magic fairy dust or anything but I got my first shave with a fungal finish and I suspect a large well proportioned piece could be fun to play around with if I spy one.
