Looks like he got a good shave

 

I've seen that hone setup before...I like it

 

I like the nick he gave himself

 

I guess I'm maybe being a bit pedantic here, but I'm thinking that the way he stores his strops there could be some paste cross-contamination onto his larger strop? Certainly didn't wipe off the green (chrome oxide) paste from his razor before hitting the leather one.

And just for discussion - do you guys flip your razor by rolling it in your fingers (like he demonstrated) or do you turn your wrist (like he actually did on the strop)?

James.

 

Isn't that the same idio...ahem...guy who recommends honing on a brick?

 

Hey I stroped on an old leather belt.

Probably why I am so ugly. ::

 

I was lucky! an old barber gave me his first strop when I started shaving!
I'm not certain but I think it was the cinch belt to an old saddle. Use it to this day!

Come to think of it, I'm kind of ugly myself

 

my strop isn't ugly it is charming....

but unlike you two

... i am pretty, oh so pretty, i feel pretty and witty and gay...

 

I would like to see the videos, but my company will not play anything on you tube for me. Would you please post the URL, I will go to another internet link and get to look at the videos.
