Gents:
I picked up a RazorRenew strop over the weekend (www.razorrenew.com if you are not familiar with it). I stropped a nearly new (1 or 2 shaves) Gem Stainless on it, per the instructions, and went to shave with it this in my Damaskeene this morning. It was terrible--clearly, I did something wrong and took the edge right off the blade. Any thoughts? Mind you, I've never stropped using an actual strop before, but I have palm-stropped my SE blades with success.
