Gentlemen,
My razor should be on its way from Gentlemens Best where thirdeye is honing it up for me. I have a Big Mama strop which just came in the mail the other day and I have 4 pints of A+ on standby.
Any last words of advice or how-to's?
Do I need to do anything to the strop such as oil, shave soap, etc. I've picked up bits and pieces of info but haven't put it all togehter in order. Whats the final say on caring for your strop?
Here's my plan pre-final advice:
Strop razor 20-30 times on felt strop.
Strop razor 20-30 times on leather strop.
Lather up
Shave
Rinse
Grab Gauze and styptic
Attach IV
Strop razor 20-30 times on leather.
Admire shave.
Where/What should I change?
