I recently purchased my first SR and came "shave ready" along with it I purchased a hanging strop and jewelers rouge (white).
When the blades came in I immediately went and ran a hair test. Blade passed with a short "ZING" nice.
unfortunately, my strop was still on backorder but I used a leather belt as a temporary.
Fast forward to this morning. My strop has been here a week and I have already had another shave since then. This morning I decided to do the hair test but I failed... I stropped again probably 50 laps and tried again, failed.
Am I chasing something that's impossible? what should I do from this point? Or is there really anything I can do?
