Stroping is the same as any other razor, just make sure you cover the entire edge. I have only maintained this edge and it is a little tricky. I had to watch Glen's videos to figure out how to do it.
Saturday Straights' Shave Keep It Simple Shave Week Williams Mug Shave Soap Jayaruh #302 Hartsteel 5/8 Straight CWR Family Dollar Spice AS My prep was just a cold water rinse. The Williams Mug Shave Soap face-lathered well with the Jayaruh #302 synthetic brush. I did two passes with the Hartsteel 5/8 Straight Razor on loan from @Redfisher and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Family Dollar Spice AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
I wanted a fine, no-nonsense shave this morning, so I rounded up the usual suspects. User Filly 14 and I Coloniali Mango Oil lathered with a lovely Tulip 2. A little Harris Pink was followed with a splash of Mont St Michel Naturelle Classique 'cologne' which is very mild and fresh. Cheers, Steve

I've been on vacation for a couple of week, grew a beard, shaved it off, with a DE razor, and shaved again today, with a straight razor. I had a fantastic two pass shave, that left me BBS. Zero issues. wonderful to use a straight razor again. Razor- Geneva Cutlery. Soap- ARKO stick Brush- Stirling Boar Aftershave- Pinaud Clubman.
I had an absolutely lovely shave with this near wedge Lund. I’ve got another classic Sheffield in ivory on the way and tonight’s shave made the waiting a little more bearable.
