Since 1896, the famous Böker from Solingen has been producing open razors. In 170 artisanal production steps, a new open razor of impeccable quality is created. And razor-sharp.
Product information
Cowhide strop for the daily maintenance of the straight razor. This strop has two sides, namely: leather and canvas. The leather side is for polishing the razor. The canvas side is for straightening the razor.
Size: 4.5 x 45 cm
Use the greasy stropping paste in the yellow tube for smooth gliding of the blade over the strop and protection of the strop.
Usage
- Keep the strop taut
- Keep the blade flat (0 degrees) relative to the strop surface
- Always move or stroke the razor in the direction of the spine of the blade
- Be careful, do not stroke the cutting edge against the strop surface during the back-and-forth stropping. This causes the cutting edge to bite into the leather and damages the strop.
- Gently stroke the razor blade back and forth over the strop.
The leather of the strop can dry out and crack. Maintain the strop by regularly applying leather grease or strop paste.
